Calvin Martin, ed.
The American Indian and the Problem of History
New York: Oxford University Press, 1987.
The problem of history, when writing about both whites and
American Indians, is the notion of "time." For one group, it is
linear, progressive and calculable. For the other group, it is
cyclical, transcendent and indefinite. Eighteen authors tackle
this problem in essays that are at once perturbing and
illuminating.
