Lumbee Indians in the Jim Crow South: Race, Identity, and the Making of a Nation by Malinda Maynor Lowery

4.0

A great scholarly piece of work, written by an insider who relates her own family experiences into the larger questions of Native American community and identity. Growing up in Robeson County, it was sometimes hard to understand racial dynamics, and Maynor-Lowry's work does a lot to show how history played a part in why the schools were still segregated when we were going through them and why the Lumbees are still seeking federal recognition.
