Matthew Garrett is professor of history at Bakersfield College, where he also works in the college archives. He recently joined the editorial board of the Journal of Mormon History.
"Using historical themes of colonization, assimilation, and
identity, Matthew Garrett presents an extraordinary revelation of
indigenous resilience among 50,000 native students during the
second half of the twentieth century. He argues convincingly for
the survival of Indian identity as youth, becoming Lamanites, spent
the formative years of their lives in the Indian Student Placement
Program. This brilliant exposé advances our understanding of
Indian-white relations, and it is truly an award-winning book!"
--Donald L. Fixico (Shawnee, Sac & Fox, Mvskoke Creek and
Seminole), Distinguished Foundation Professor of History, Arizona
State University
"An outstanding contribution."
--Laurie Maffly-Kipp, Archer Alexander Distinguished Professor of
Religion and Politics, Washington University
"An impressive volume with extensive footnotes, a comprehensive and
up-to-date bibliography, and a valuable index. It contains an
in-depth discussion, analysis, and detailed history of a program
that included fifty thousand students and became something of a
household topic for several earlier decades." --The Journal of
Arizona History
