Abbie + Anita = A Beautiful america
"To America With Love: Letters From The Underground" is one of the most beautiful and personal books I've ever read. The book itself compiles a number of written correspondences between 60s radical Abbie Hoffman and his beautiful wife Anita after Abbie was forced to go underground as he was facing a guaranteed life sentence for drug related charges.Read more

An extraordinary treatment of law affecting native peoples
Having studied, taught and practiced Federal Indian law for nearly twenty years, I believe that this is the finest examination of the historical roots of legal colonialism in the Americas yet written. Williams is masterful in his research and examination of the Christian, European foundations for the invasion of the Western Hemisphere. Although I disagree with Williams' conclusions about the writings of Franciscus de Victoria, his discussion of the Elizabethan colonization of Ireland and, through extension of the same legal doctrines, native North America, is excellent.

Required for native/history majors and everyone else in N.A.
This book is a methodically brings the legal thought of the western world into context of how it relates to the American Indian, a necessary background to the subject.This is done by reviewing medival and reformperiod of history, the seperation of church and state and land laws, andfollowed up by the occupation of North America.How this subjecation cameto be and how laws not used equally facilitated the holocast in NorthAmerica.I am glad i read it and have considered doing a second MA at theinstitution Robert A Williams teaches and have bought his second book andlook forward to reading it AFTER i reread the american indian in westernlegal thought (ps keep a dictionary handy). ...

My Opinion and Solution
The author of this book does indeed have a preacher-choir mentality in his attempts to justify reperations to african americans.the problem i have with this notion is that 1) contrary to popular opinion, middle and lower class blacks would benefit very little from this class action lawsuit.granted, Johnny Cochran would benefit and Jesse Jackson would benefit, but blacks as a whole would not benefit much at all and by the time this lawsuit DESTROYS any hope of true diversity in light of martin luther king's message, blacks would end up feeling victimized yet again.2)another problem with the reperations argument is that it fails to take into account the actions of the government in trying to help blacks get back on to their feet.these actions include the civil war and the creation of the welfare system.there is great value of both these things that reperations fails to account for. Should America Read Should America Pay?
Should America Pay? edited by Raymond Winbush, is a book that is long overdue. Finally the case for reparations for the centuries of brutality, deprivation, and death suffered by millions of African descendants in the United States has been made openly and honestly by white and black writers. Dr. Winbush, has selected a distinguished group of scholars, academicians, and other intellectual luminaries and professionals to present what turns out to be a compelling case for reparations for African Americans. The book makes clear that remedial actions must be taken to begin to repair the state supported exploitation and subsequent damage in every area of African American life including - health (mental and physical), education, land ownership, and in the political and economic arenas to name a few. The hardships and savagery inflicted on millions of African captives forced to work as slaves in the US is clearly outlined in the book. Discussion in the book also focuses on why and howthe surviving descendants are still suffering from the ongoing effects of what has been to date, a perpetually racist society. Compulsory Reading
Dr. Winbush should be applauded for compiling and editing this wealth of information for AMERICA.This text should be incorporated into the American History classes across our nation.Read more

Required Pagan Reading on your Rights within the Law
Dana is a very giving woman in person, and she demonstrates this well with this book in helping other Pagans understand their rights and the laws as they relate to Paganism & religions. This is a must read for any HP/HPS, pagan event organizer, or practitioner that finds themselves involved with the legal side of the government. It is also a great guide for any lawyer who needs to deal with Paganism in a case. Dana has taught many lectures and seminars on the subject of Paganism, and as a lawyer herself understands the subject from both sides.
Wonderful Book!
Ms. Eilers has made a book for pagans/wiccans about their rights and within the law of all states. However, i felt at times the book was missing a few "key points". Other than that, the book is very helpful and should not be overlooked.

A Must for Any Pagan Library
Dana Eilers has done all the research you will need to give to your attorney should you find yourself in a situation where you need to defend your religious position.
