Recipient of the Adéle Mellon Prize, this volume examines the use of institutions, known as manual labor boarding schools, to control the population of American Indians throughout the 19th century. McDade (sociology, Kansas State U.) uses a research article from noted historian Robert Berkhofer as a launching point for research into the social agendas that prompted the building of these institutions while examining the revisionist strategies to keep the true objectives hidden from the public. Sociologists and historians will appreciate this new perspective on a relatively unknown yet government-funded practice to "raze the cultures of the indigenous people" in order to reinforce European standards of social behavior.
