Summary

In "Indian Wars under the Lead of Sitting Bull," James P. Boyd profoundly explores the tumultuous period of Native American resistance against U.S. expansionism in the late 19th century. Boyd's narrative combines a meticulous historical account with vivid storytelling, presenting a balanced perspective on the complexities of the Indian Wars. He employs a rich, descriptive literary style that immerses readers in the cultural and physical landscapes inhabited by Sitting Bull and his followers. The book situates itself within the broader discourse of American history, examining themes of sovereignty, identity, and the relentless pursuit of land, thereby contextualizing the conflicts within the socio-political climate of the time. James P. Boyd, a noted historian and writer, has dedicated much of his career to understanding Native American history and his extensive research informs this work. His background in ethnographic studies and passion for indigenous rights undoubtedly shaped his portrayal of Sitting Bull as not merely a warrior, but as a strategic leader and a symbol of resistance against colonial oppression. Boyd's commitment to illuminating the stories of often marginalized figures in history underscores his motivations for penning this compelling narrative. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in American history, indigenous studies, or military strategy. Boyd's insightful analysis not only sheds light on the life and legacy of Sitting Bull but also prompts readers to reflect on the broader implications of colonialism and resistance. Whether a scholar, student, or general reader, this work promises to engage and enlighten, making it a valuable addition to one's historical library.

    Criminal Justice in Divided...

    How a broken criminal justice system has fueled the crisis of American democracy, and how we can address both problems together.Criminal Justice in Divided America shows how police, courts, and prisons helped to break American democracy and how better approaches to public safety and criminal accountability can help to repair it. Engaging critically with concerns from both the left and the right, Sklansky lays out a clear and deeply researched agenda for reforming police departments, prosecutors' offices, criminal trials, and punishment. Sklansky seeks pragmatic solutions that take account of political realities: the lofty ideal of empowering "the people" or "the community" can mean little when members of the public or the community disagree. While efforts to "defund" the police have exacerbated political conflicts without addressing the underlying problem of how and when force should be used to protect public safety, reforms aimed at improving police accountability, restraining prosecutorial power, and expanding the role of juries can bring together warring parties who share a concern for justice.Ultimately, Sklansky argues, reform must be rooted in a strong commitment to pluralism―bridging political divides rather than worsening them, strengthening democracy, and securing the broad support that enables durable change.
