A historian with the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI), Tayac has curated a collection of 27 articles that examine the intersections of African and Native American lives and identities. Contributors explore topics including how Native Americans and African Americans were affected by Jim Crow; the difficult questions of race and citizenship being dealt with by the Cherokee Nation; Native Americans in jazz, blues, and popular music; DNA and Native American identity; and the cultural identity of Afro-Bolivians. Another beautifully designed volume from NMAI, this book will have wide appeal, especially to African American and Native American readers.
