The Magic Children: Racial Identity at the End of the Age of Race
Roger Echo-Hawk  
Available September 2010, 176 pages, $24.95 Paper 

One day at the end of the twentieth century, Roger Echo-Hawk decided to
give
up being an Indian. After becoming an American Indian historian, he
started
to question our widespread reliance on a concept of race that the
academy
had long-since discredited, and embarked on a personal and
professional
journey to giving up race himself. This passionate book offers a
powerful
meditation on racialism and a manifesto for creating a world without
it.
Echo-Hawk examines personal identity, social movements, and
policy—NAGPRA,
Indian law, Red Pride, indigenous archaeology—showing how they rely
on race
and how they should move beyond it.
