註釋"This study examines the founding of the American Indian Movement (AIM) in Minneapolis during 1968. AIM represents the continuation of an old struggle in a new social context. Large migrations in the 1950's and 1960's introduced Indians to new forms of social inequality and domination. At the same time Indians were exposed to new models of political resistance provided by the urban rebellions of the 1960's. This study is an attempt to understand the relationship between the immersion of Indians in the urban class structure and the emergence of a radical Indian political organization. A political economy framework is used to sketch the Indian's place in the class system. Within this context a specific focus is the impact of urban renewal on Indian housing. The study finds that the Indian housing situation along with police relations, were the key factors in the evolution of AIM"--Abstract.
