White Justice in Arizona: Apache Murder Trials in the Nineteenth Century (review)

White Justice in Arizona: Apache Murder Trials in the Nineteenth Century (review) can be viewed in terms of the implications of the power of education to create a people made of words, a people who are able to engage with their world on linguistic and informed grounds. Warrior’s overall project is ambitious, as he aims not only to humanize the Native intellectual tradition and make it pertinent and accessible to scholars but also to contribute to communities and communal awareness and action removed from academia. But rather than trumpeting the value of academic research and reporting, believing that repetition will surely win out in the end, he employs the radical concept of imagination to suggest that in some ways people from different periods of history can be understood through their own expressions and linguistic interpretations of their worlds. Perhaps the idea of treating people of the past as real people somehow flies in the face of intellectual tradition, but the visceral power of applying imaginative interpretation may just be a powerful method of making intellectualism accessible to real people today and tomorrow. In his conclusion, Warrior sums up his method of tracing ideas and human responses with the term intellectual trade routes, routes that might align geograph- ically on a map http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The American Indian Quarterly University of Nebraska Press

Abstract

can be viewed in terms of the implications of the power of education to create a people made of words, a people who are able to engage with their world on linguistic and informed grounds. Warrior’s overall project is ambitious, as he aims not only to humanize the Native intellectual tradition and make it pertinent and accessible to scholars but also to contribute to communities and communal awareness and action removed from academia. But rather than trumpeting the value of academic research and reporting, believing that repetition will surely win out in the end, he employs the radical concept of imagination to suggest that in some ways people from different periods of history can be understood through their own expressions and linguistic interpretations of their worlds. Perhaps the idea of treating people of the past as real people somehow flies in the face of intellectual tradition, but the visceral power of applying imaginative interpretation may just be a powerful method of making intellectualism accessible to real people today and tomorrow. In his conclusion, Warrior sums up his method of tracing ideas and human responses with the term intellectual trade routes, routes that might align geograph- ically on a map
