ALCATRAZ IS NOT AN ISLAND: RECOVERING THEMES OF PAN-INDIANISM FROM NEWS ACCOUNTS OF THE 1969-71 OCCUPATION
This well-researched book was more than a decade in the making. It considers news of the 1969-71 occupation of Alcatraz Island reprinted in Akwesasne Notes, the far-left New York-based Mohawk publication. Previously, media studies of the occupation consider it as a dramatic pseudo-event. However, speech communication studies suggest a consummatory perspective that honors the Native American view of the occupation as a critical event. This academic study illuminates the struggle for cultural survival and self-determination by Native Americans in the 20th century at its "watershed" moment. For the first time, this bounded case study applies the themes of pan-Indianism that are known to exist to the study of news. The study employs a content analytic framework to identify the characteristics of the themes of self-determination, de-colonization, transformation, mobilization, healing, survival, recovery and development.
