Reviews"Carney adequately presents the abysmal contrast of public attitude and behavior toward Native Americans and the reality of higher education for them in each of the epochs... Graduate students and faculty." --D. L. Norland, Choice
Grade FromEleventh Grade
SynopsisMany aspects of Native American education have been given extensive attention. There are plentiful works on the boarding school program, the mission school efforts, and other aspects of Indian education. Higher education, however, has received little examination. Select articles, passages, and occasional chapters touch on it, but usually only in respect to specific subjects as an adjunct to education in general. There is no thorough and comprehensive history of Native American higher education in the United States. Native American Higher Education in the United States fills this need, and is now available in paperback.Carney reviews the historical development of higher education for the Native American community from the age of discovery to the present. The author has constructed his book chronologically in three eras: the colonial period, featuring several efforts at Indian missions in the colonial colleges; the federal period, when Native American higher education was largely ignored except for sporadic tribal and private efforts; and the self-determination period, highlighted by the recent founding of the tribally-controlled colleges. Carney also includes a chapter comparing Native American higher education with African-American higher education. The concluding chapter discusses the current status of Native American higher education.Carney's book fills an informational gap while at the same time opening the field of Native American higher education to continuing exploration. It will be valuable reading for educators and historians, and general readers interested in Native American culture., Reviews the historical development of higher education for the Native American community from the age of discovery. This book fills a gap while at the same time opening the field of Native American higher education to continuing exploration. It is useful for educators and historians, and readers interested in Native American culture.
