Life and Death in Mohawk Country
Published in Hardcover by Fulcrum Pub (1993)
Author: Bruce Elliott Johansen
Amazon base price: $23.95
Used price: $14.73
Average review score:

An important book about modern Mohawk politics.
As someone who has experienced many of the events depicted in this book, I was very impressed with Johansen's take on a very confusing time in our history. Unlike others who have taken on the subject, he saw through the rhetoric and presented a straight-forward analysis of the Mohawk civil unrest of 1989-1990. Unfortunately, I do not agree that these conflicts are ultimately the fault of industrial polluters who forced Mohawks into smuggling and gambling operations. Individual greed, cultural assimilation, and personal conflicts were just as much to blame. Some might accuse Johansen from being biased toward the anti-gambling faction and "conservative" traditionalists. I also found the book somewhat "distant," as if it happened a hundred years ago, while memories of these very turbulent events are still very much alive to myself and other Mohawks. It is based mainly on newspaper accounts and documents, not on contemporary interviews. I guess we will have to write our own book on the subject to really capture the essence of what it was really like.
