Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz's "The Fourth World and Indigenism: Politics of Isolation and Alternatives."

Smith, Richard Chase; Davis, Shelton H.

Journal of Ethnic Studies, v12 n4 p113-20 Win 1985

Criticizes an article on Indian movements in the Americas for misconceiving the term "indigenous" and over-emphasizing the class basis of Indian oppression. Argues that class and ethnicity must be understood for how they intersect in particular cases, and for how they mutually reinforce each other as the basis of a broader and stronger unity. (KH)
