Indian gaming & tribal sovereignty : the casino compromise

Light, Steven Andrew. (Author). Rand, Kathryn R. L., 1968- (Added Author).

Summary: "This book provides the clearest and most complete account to date of the laws and politics of Indian gaming. Steven Light and Kathryn Rand explain how it has become one of today's most politically charged phenomena: at stake are a host of competing legal rights and political interests for tribal, state, and federal governments. As Indian gaming grows, policymakers struggle with balancing its economic and social costs and benefits."--Jacket.
