Reviews
"Saldana-Portillo’s monograph makes critical contributions to the fields of indigenous studies, borderlands studies, American studies, Mexican studies, Chicano/a studies, gender studies, transnational studies, western legal studies, and Southwest studies—just to name a few. Indian Given truly has the potential to help set the agenda in multiple disciplines."
-- John Gram H-Net Reviews
"An eclectic, informative, and entertaining work. . . . Saldaña-Portillo’s work will certainly be an eye-opener for anyone who picks it up."
-- F. Todd Smith American Historical Review
“Indian Given will be of great interest to scholars and university students who explore issues of Indigeneity in Mexico and the United States. Its interdisciplinary inquiry makes an important contribution to the field of Indigenous studies.”
-- Emilio del Valle Escalante Native American and Indigenous Studies
"Saldaña-Portillo illuminates the racial process in which indigenous people have been central to the continuous colonial and national space-making projects of Mexico and the United States."
-- Jorge Ramirez Radical History Review
