For more than a decade scholars have debated the question of whether American Indian confederacies, primarily the Iroquois, helped influence the formation of U.S. basic law. The idea has sparked lively debate in the public arena as well, with Canadian diplomat Durling Voyce-Jones contending it shows a paradigm shift in our thinking, Patrick Buchanan calling it "idiocy," and George Will saying it's "fiction." For the first time, this bibliography brings together some 450 citations on the debate. The work describes the debate in the words of one of its major participants, Bruce E.

Product Description
A close investigation of the contemporary Philippine Left, focusing on the political challenges and dilemmas which confronted activists following the disintegration of the Marcos regime and the reestablishment of electoral democracy under Corazon Aquino.A collection of essays by Kathleen Weekley, Rosanne Rutten, Benedict J.

no analysis, restricted format
The effort gone into producing the data for this book is impressive. Appears to be extensive (exhaustive?) research through books and periodicals on American sanctions. However, the end result is a strict reference. A dictionary, more or less, with little or no information on each entry. A researcher needing this book would still have a lot of work to do, even in a preliminary investigation of the usefulness of the entries.

On another note, today this book is more useful as a CD or set of pages on the web, with simple searching ability. ... Read more
