Preface
Several years ago I was in Soweto, South Africa, listening to members of the African National Congress articulate their frustration with the Nationalist Party regime and voice their aspirations for a nonracist government. As we sat down at the table in a small, dark room, guards were placed around the block to ensure that there were no surprise visits from the police. It was immediately apparent that living in an urban setting under apartheid had significantly affected their self-perceptions. These young men no longer identified themselves as Zulu or Tswana or Khosa. They were black, a label which included individuals officially designated by the government as "African," "coloured," and "Asian Indian.'' Personal identity was clearly being influenced by external political and cultural forces.
Especially interested in indigenous responses to European imperialism and colonialism, upon my return to the United States I began an evaluation of the twentieth-century resistance press in southern Africa. My research led me to relocate to Houston, where, because of my Cherokee heritage and tribal membership, I became increasingly active in the American Indian community. Ninety miles northeast of Houston is the Alabama-Coushatta Indian Reservation. There I danced at powwows, worshiped in the Indian Presbyterian Church, chaperoned youth trips, and became involved with a lawsuit intended to ensure that Native American boys could wear their hair long while in school.
