Book excerpt: Labelled 'controversial' by politicians and pundits alike, Ward Churchill's scholarship endures the test of time. Rational, angry yet ultimately hopeful, his is a leading voice against ongoing genocide perpetrated on American Indian peoples. Intellectually cogent while remaining accessible to the general reader, this 10th anniversary reprint is a challenge to both think and act. Whether engaging with Marxism, critiquing anthropology, discussing poetry or defining genocide, Churchill's words truly are weapons in the fight for justice.
