Redskins
The Washington Redskins franchise remains one of the most valuable in professional sports, in part because of its easily recognizable, popular, and profitable brand. And yet “redskins” is a derogatory name for American Indians. Prominent journalists, politicians, and former players have publicly spoken out against the use of Redskins as the name of the team. The number of grassroots campaigns to change the name has risen in recent years despite the current team owner’s assertion that the team will never do so. The NFL, for its part, actively defends the name and supports it in court. Redskins: Insult and Brand examines how the ongoing struggle over the team name raises important questi...

Sport has come to have an increasingly large impact on daily life and commerce across the globe.

Almost All Aliens
Almost All Aliens offers a unique reinterpretation of immigration in the history of the United States. Setting aside the European migrant-centered melting-pot model of immigrant assimilation, Paul Spickard, Francisco Beltrán, and Laura Hooton put forward a fresh and provocative reconceptualization that embraces the multicultural, racialized, and colonially inflected reality of immigration that has always existed in the United States. Their astute study illustrates the complex relationship between ethnic identity and race, slavery, and colonial expansion. Examining the lives of those who crossed the Atlantic, as well as those who crossed the Pacific, the Caribbean, and the North American Bor...
Lakota Hoops
In Lakota Hoops, anthropologist Alan Klein looks at Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to provide a vivid portrait of how the community uses basketball to assert its tribal identity. He reveals the ways that the game is a filter for traditions, pride, hopes, and tribulations that people experience daily, as well as how it bridges Lakota past, present, and future.
