North American Indians: A Very Short Introduction : Perdue, University Theda, Green, Professor Emeritus of American Studies Michael D: desertcart.ae: Books Review: It is compact and the typesetting is too small for my liking. Not sure why the author or printer chose this method. Would definitely have preferred more pages with larger type face. Review: This book is a great introduction to American Indians. It gives a great chronology of the legal battles between the US government and different nations and tribes. Though it covers a great deal of information and is extremely condensed do not expect to see the individual histories or beliefs of each tribe, especially tribes from the northeast that are only discussed in brevity or completely left out. Over all, this is a great book to get better insight into the history of Native Americans.

This is a really useful book. Everything in Oxford University Press's "Very Short Introduction" series is helpful. Obviously, much is left out, but that's sort of the point. It provides a basic overview to introduce people to the topic in a really thoughtful way.
