After one hundred winters : in search of reconciliation on America's stolen lands / by Jacobs, Margaret D.,1963-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 319-328) and index.Part one. Our founding crimes -- Blood -- Eyes -- Spirits -- Bellies -- Tongues -- Part two. Promoting reconciliation in nineteenth-century America -- Rousing the conscience of a nation -- Friends of the Indian -- Indian boarding schools -- Part three. Searching for truth and reconciliation in the twenty-first century -- America's stolen generations -- The hardest word -- Where the mouth is -- Part four. A groundswell for reonciliation -- Skulls -- Bones -- Hands -- Hearts."A necessary reckoning with America's troubled history of injustice to Indigenous people, After One Hundred Winters confronts the harsh truth that the United States was founded on the violent dispossession of Indigenous people and asks what reconciliation might mean in light of this haunted history. In this timely and urgent book, settler historian Margaret Jacobs tells the stories of the individuals and communities who are working together to heal historical wounds-and reveals how much we have to gain by learning from our history instead of denying it. Jacobs traces the brutal legacy of systemic racial injustice to Indigenous people that has endured since the nation's founding. Explaining how early attempts at reconciliation succeeded only in robbing tribal nations of their land and forcing their children into abusive boarding schools, she shows that true reconciliation must emerge through Indigenous leadership and sustained relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people that are rooted in specific places and histories. In the absence of an official apology and a federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission, ordinary people are creating a movement for transformative reconciliation that puts Indigenous land rights, sovereignty, and values at the forefront. With historical sensitivity and an eye to the future, Jacobs urges us to face our past and learn from it, and once we have done so, to redress past abuses. Drawing on dozens of interviews, After One Hundred Winters reveals how Indigenous people and settlers in America today, despite their troubled history, are finding unexpected gifts in reconciliation."--

The transition : interpreting justice from Thurgood Marshall to Clarence Thomas / by Kiel, Daniel(Law professor),author.(CARDINAL)868301;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction : race, schools, and the justices of the Supreme Court -- Part I. Becoming justices. Brethren, of a sort -- Mr. Civil Rights -- Separate and unequal -- Living a post-Brown reality -- Pioneering at a price -- Part II. Integration. To enter a burning house -- Stigmatic injury -- In defense of Black institutions -- Part III. Individuals and government. Cycles of expansion and backlash -- Stepping backwards -- Putting the genie back in the bottle -- Part IV. Affirmative action. Quotas -- Gettingsomebody in, keeping somebody out -- Fixed or flexible -- Colorblindness ascendant -- Conclusion : the rule of law."Every Supreme Court transition presents an opportunity for a shift in the balance of the third branch of American government, but the replacement of Thurgood Marshall with Clarence Thomas in 1991 proved particularly momentous. Not only did it shift the ideological balance on the Court; it was inextricably entangled with the persistent American dilemma of race. In The Transition, this most significant transition from 1953 to the present is explored through the lives and writings of the first two African American justices on Court, touching on the lasting consequences for understandings of American citizenship as well as the central currents of Black political thought over the past century. In their lives, Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas experiencedthe challenge of living and learning in a world that had enslaved their relatives and that continued to subjugate members of their racial group. On the Court, their judicial writings--often in concurrences or dissents--richly illustrate the ways in whichthese two individuals embodied these crucial American (and African American) debates--on the balance between state and federal authority, on the government's responsibility to protect its citizens against discrimination, and on the best strategies for pursuing equality. The gap between Justices Marshall and Thomas on these questions cannot be overstated, and it reveals an extraordinary range of thought that has yet to be fully appreciated. The 1991 transition from Justice Marshall to Justice Thomas has had consequences that are still unfolding at the Court and in society. Arguing that the importance of this transition has been obscured by the relegation of these Justices to the sidelines of Supreme Court history, Daniel Kiel shows that it is their uniqueperspective as Black justices--the lives they have lived as African Americans and the rooting of their judicial philosophies in the relationship of government to African Americans--that makes this succession echo across generations"--
