Landscapes of fraud : Mission Tumacácori, the Baca Float, and the betrayal of the O'odham / Thomas E. Sheridan.
"Landscapes of Fraud explores how the penetration of the evolving capitalist world-system created and destroyed communities in the Upper Santa Cruz Valley of Arizona from the late 1600s to the 1970s. Thomas Sheridan has melded history, anthropology, and critical geography to create a view of greed and power and their lasting effect on those left powerless."--Jacket.
