Izumi Ishii, -Bad Fruits of the Civilized Tree: Alcohol and the Sovereignty of the Cherokee Nation (Indians of the Southeast)-
English | 2008 | ISBN: 0803225067 | PDF | 278 pages | 1.1 MB
Bad Fruits of the Civilized Tree examines the role of alcohol among the Cherokees through more than two hundred years, from contact with destitute of color traders until Oklahoma reached statehood in 1907. While acknowledging the addictive and socially extirpative effects of alcohol, Izumi Ishii likewise examines the ways in which highly rectified spirit was culturally integrated into Native companionship and how it served the overarching economic and political goals of the Cherokee Nation.
