Rethinking the Red Power Movement Paperback / softback
by Sam Hitchmough, Kyle T. Mays
Part of the American Social and Political Movements of the 20th Century series
Paperback / softback
Description
Rethinking the Red Power Movement examines Red Power ideology with a focus on its many forms of solidarity with African Americans, the role of gender in shaping the movement, its international expansion, and its current meaning in contemporary activism. The Red Power Movement is often considered the apex of Indigenous activism in the twentieth century.
While diverse, the movement is typically told through four actions.
Beginning with the occupation of Alcatraz in 1969, followed by the Trail of Broken Treaties in 1972, Wounded Knee in 1973, then culminating with the Longest Walk in 1978, there is a clear jumpstart, middle, and end to the Red Power Movement.
Through a chronological approach, this study makes the case that Red Power never died—and neither did Indigenous activism.
Instead, it shows how Indigenous peoples found many ways to push forward Indigenous sovereignty and continue to call on the United States to value Indigenous possibilities for justice, freedom, and power. This book is useful for students and scholars interested in twentieth century America, social movements, and the history of Indigenous activism.
