Specificatii
In 1876 Lakota and Cheyenne warriors annihilated Custer's Seventh
Cavalry at Little Bighorn. Three years later and half a world away,
a British force was wiped out by Zulu warriors at Isandhlwana in
South Africa. In both cases the total defeat of regular army troops
by forces regarded as undisciplined barbarian tribesmen stunned an
imperial nation.Although the similarities between the two frontier
encounters have long been noted, James O. Gump's book The Dust Rose
Like Smoke is the first to scrutinize them in a comparative
context. This study issues a challenge to American exceptionalism,
he writes. Viewing both episodes as part of a global pattern of
intensified conflict in the latter 1800s resulting from Western
domination over a vast portion of the globe, Gump's comparative
study persuasively traces the origins and aftermath of both
episodes.He examines the complicated ways in which Lakota and Zulu
leadership sought to protect indigenous interests while Western
leadership calculated their subjugation to imperial authority. The
second edition includes a new preface from the author, revised and
expanded chapters, and an interview with Leonard Little Finger
(great-great-grandson of Ghost Dance leader Big Foot), whose story
connects Wounded Knee and Nelson Mandela.
