Today, due to a complicated system of criminal jurisdiction, non-Native Americans can commit crimes against American Indians in much of Indian Country with virtual impunity. This has created what some call a modern day «hunting ground» in which Native women are specifically targeted by non-Native men for sexual violence.
In this urgent and timely book, author Amy L. Casselman exposes the shameful truth of how the American government has systematically divested Native nations of the basic right to protect the people in their own communities. A problem over 200 years in the making, Casselman highlights race and gender in federal law to challenge the argument that violence against Native women in Indian country is simply collateral damage from a complex but necessary legal structure. Instead, she demonstrates that what's happening in Indian country is part of a violent colonial legacy - one that has always relied on legal and sexual violence to disempower Native communities as a whole.
Amy L. Casselman is a lecturer at San Francisco State University and California State University Stanislaus where she teaches federal Indian law, American Indian history, and Gender Studies. She holds degrees from Stanford University, San Francisco State University, and the University of California Santa Cruz. Prior to her career in academia, Casselman was a caseworker for the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California where she provided support services for Native children and families.
