Today, about one-quarter of all Native Americans live on reservations, covering 52.4 million acres in 33 different states, some of which are located in geographically remote areas. Native Americans living on reservations are suffering from poverty, unemployment, health disparities, crime, educational failures, and poor living conditions that are reminiscent of Third World countries. The concept of state harm introduced in this book constitutes a framework that suggests a reasonable explanation for the poor social conditions in these "Third World societies" that make up the reservation system in the United States. The book also shows how the psychological and emotional traumas of colonization, relocation, assimilation, and boarding schools have manifested harm within generations of Native Americans.
Jerry Hollingsworth is a Professor of Sociology and Criminology at McMurry University, USA. A former social worker, he has spent the last 17 years traveling and working in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, researching and observing social conditions such as poverty, racism, crime, and inequality in various developing countries, as well as Indian reservations in the USA. He is the author of the books Children of the Sun: An Ethnographic Study of the Street Children of Latin America, The Social Problems of Children in Sub-Saharan Africa, and Native America in the 21st Century. His current research involves social justice for Native Americans.
