Silent victims : hate crimes against Native Americans

Book

Silent victims : hate crimes against Native Americans / Barbara Perry.

Perry, Barbara, 1962- (Author).

Summary:

Hate crimes against Native Americans are a common occurrence, Barbara Perry reveals, although most go unreported. In this eye-opening book, Perry shines a spotlight on these acts, which are often hidden in the shadows of crime reports. She argues that scholarly and public attention to the historical and contemporary victimization of Native Americans as tribes or nations has blinded both scholars and citizens alike to the victimization of individual Native Americans. It is these acts against individuals that capture her attention. Silent Victims is a unique contribution to the literature on hate crime. Because most extant literature treats hate crimes--even racial violence--rather generically, this work breaks new ground with its findings.
