Rendition As Books Where White Men Fear to Tread: The Autobiography of Russell Means

Russell Means was the most controversial American Indian leader of our time. Where White Men Fear to Tread is the well-detailed, first-hand story of his life, in which he did everything possible to dramatize and justify the American Indian aim of self-determination, such as storming Mount Rushmore, seizing Plymouth Rock, running for President in 1988, and—most notoriously—leading a 71-day takeover of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, in 1973. This visionary autobiography by one of our most magnetic personalities will fascinate, educate, and inspire. As Dee Brown has written, "A reading of Means's story is essential for any clear understanding of American Indians during the last half of the twentieth century."

Appraise Of Books Where White Men Fear to Tread: The Autobiography of Russell Means

I enjoyed reading this book, but I don't believe half of what he writes. I give him due credit for being a radical and a rascal.

The autobiography of Russell Means, one of the leaders of the American Indian Movement (AIM) at the time of the Wounded Knee occupation. If anyone thinks that the genocide against the American Indians is ancient history, they should read this book. It describes in painful detail the racism against native Americans during our own lifetimes, the corrupt and scandalous role of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the continuing theft of Indian land, and the many violations of human rights, including

This is the first autobiography that I have read where I can't say that I like the author better or less for having read it. I have always admired Russell Means. I have admired his courage to stand up for his beliefs, and I am old enough to remember his protests in the news as they were happening. He is a man of conviction. He is also a bit of an asshole. Showing the darker side of himself as he does throughout this book, makes him a more sympathetic protagonist. I found the beginning of the

No book has angered me as much as Where White Men Fear to Tread. While I understand the frustration the Means must have felt, especially when looking at the horrid way his ancestors have been treated by the US Government, and the persistent racism that was still visible in the 1980s, but I do not see how he could use this to justify his atrocious behaviors. Means was an egomaniac and hypocrite who believed in equality for Native Americans. He wanted people to join his movements, and be apart of

Russell Means is probably the most famous living Native American, although according to his book, written with (and mostly by, I would guess) Marvin Wolf, a professional writer, Means prefers to be called an Indian, not a Native American. He has crammed several lifetimes of adventure into his years, and if he sometimes comes across a bit snarky, it isn't bragging, it's just what happened to him and how he feels about it. If you thought you knew anything about American Indians, this book will

The book i truly captivating and I can't put it down, i'm halfway trough it. I think it offers a valuable insight into the real situation of american indians in the 19th and 20th century. It perfectly describes the harsh conditions under which they struggle to survive and all the anger that they show sincer they were deprived of their land and rights. But despite being a very good narrator, Mr. Means was a vey controversial man who has done many bad things. This is also quite natural when you

Although this is a good read, there are some serious issues with the "facts" as presented. The name Means is Gaelic in origin and does not come from the mistranslation and shortening of "Trains His Horses well". My and his Great Great... Grand father was not Native. Russell lived with my Grandfather and Father for a short period of time as stated in his book (although some of the names were inaccurate due to the fog of time). He has also misrepresented his involvement with AIM, as he officially
