Summary "Adams's book was the first comprehensive history of the Native American boarding school era and has remained a classic work in the field. Moving beyond a study of federal Indian policy, the book vividly details the day-to-day experiences of Indian youth living in a "total institution" designed to reconstruct them both psychologically and culturally. Within the overarching narrative of the government's retreat from its initial plan of assimilation, Adams highlights the tactics used to remake Native identity, as well as the ways that students either resisted or accommodated those efforts. Adams has fully revised the book, updating the text with new material and references throughout as well as including more Native voices. He has also compiled a bibliography to be included in this new publication, along with a new author's preface that details his changes"-- Provided by publisher.
