About
Using fieldwork as well as quantitative and qualitative research, Bachman considers the sad and understudied condition of American Indians, from both historical and contemporary perspectives. Focusing on violence and its causes, the volume pays particular attention to homicide, suicide, and family violence. The destructive impact of alcohol and other addictive substances are documented. Bachman effectively uses personal stories and narratives given by American Indians to illustrate the living reality behind the statistics she presents. The book concludes with a variety of policy recommendations.
