Navajo Lifeways

"This book demonstrates how Navajos seek to understand and cope with modern life and its problems through the moral force and sense of evolving identity their origin stories provide. With extensive interviews, Maureen Trudelle Schwarz allows Navajos to speak for themselves on the ways they find to respond to crises and chronic issues. In capturing what Navajos say and think about themselves Schwarz presents this southwestern people's perceptions, values, and sense of place in the world."--BOOK JACKET.

First sentence: Because of their longstanding and deep involvement in global and national economics and politics, the Navajo are the ideal subject for a case study on the contemporary life experiences of an American Indian people.
