The Magic Children: Racial Identity at the End of the Age of Race (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781598745757)

One day at the end of the twentieth century, Roger Echo-Hawk decided to give up being an Indian. After becoming an American Indian historian, he started to question our widespread reliance on a concept of race that the academy had long-since discredited, and embarked on a personal and professional journey to giving up race himself. This passionate book offers a powerful meditation on racialism and a manifesto for creating a world without it. Echo-Hawk examines personal identity, social movements, and policy--NAGPRA, Indian law, Red Pride, indigenous archaeology--showing how they rely on race and how they should move beyond it.
