We Talk, You Listen: New Tribes, New Turf

by Vine Deloria Jr. - £14.99  University of Nebraska Press (2007)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9780803259850 | ISBN 10: 0803259859

We Talk, You Listen is strong, boldly unconventional medicine from Vine Deloria Jr. (1933�2005), one of the most important voices of twentieth-century Native American affairs. Here the witty and insightful Indian spokesman turns his penetrating vision toward the disintegrating core of American society.
�
Written at a time when the traditions of the formerly omnipotent Anglo-Saxon male were crumbling under the pressures of a changing world, Deloria�s book interprets racial conflict, inflation, the ecological crisis, and power groups as symptoms rather than causes of the American malaise: �The glittering generalities and mythologies of American society no longer satisfy the need and desire to belong,� a theory as applicable today as it was in 1970.
�
American Indian tribalism, according to Deloria, was positioned to act as America's salvation. Deloria proposes a uniquely Indian solution to the legacy of genocide, imperialism, capitalism, feudalism, and self-defeating liberalism: group identity and real community development, a kind of neo-tribalism. He also offers a fascinating cultural critique of the nascent �tribes� of the 1970s, indicting Chicanos, blacks, hippies, feminists, and others as misguided because they lacked comprehensive strategies and were led by stereotypes rather than an understanding of their uniqueness.
