Publisher Description
First Published in 1998. Part of the Native Americans Interdisciplinary Perspectives series, this volume looks at the informal economy of the Navajo from 1868 to 1995. In this study Dine is used in place of Navajo when referring to the people. Since 1868 three major revolutions have integrated the Dine into the world capitalist system: the establishment of military peace, resulting in political control by the U.S. Government, which then guaranteed the establishment of trading posts; the stock reduction of the 1930's, which resulted in money becoming central to economic life; and the importation of highly capital-intensive extractive industries onto the Navajo Reservation.
