"The 1918 'Blue Book' Report on the Natives of South-West Africa and Their Treatment by Germany, is based on the voluntary statements taken under oath of no less than 50 African witnesses. This testimony was combined with numerous German colonial documents to produce not only a stinging indictment of German colonial policy in German South West Africa, but also a number of detailed eyewitness accounts of the first genocide of the twentieth century. However, within ten years of being printed, orders were issued for the destruction of all copies of the Blue Book within the British Empire. The editors of this volume have investigated how the Blue Book came into being, provided background information to the events and people described, and sought to discover the original German documents upon which so much of the Blue Book material is based. The documentation of African testimonies makes this book particularly useful to all those interested in African and colonial history, human rights and the history of genocide."--Page 4 of cover.

From the mid-1860s until the end of organized resistance on the Great Plains, Red Cloud, the noted Oglala Sioux, epitomized for many the Indian problem. Centered on Red Cloud's career, this is an admirably impartial, circumstantial, and rigorously documented study of the relations between the Sioux and the United States government during the years after the Civil War.

Monumental investigación sobre la historia laboral en la Nueva España, que hace especial énfasis en el trabajo obligatorio o voluntario de los indios. La obra expone la evolución general de las instituciones laborales en cada periodo, el examen de cada clase de servicio y del patrono al que se destina, y presenta cuadros con información sobre precios donde se aprecia el valor de los jornaleros en cada etapa. Este trabajo se vuelve entonces imprescindible para la historia de las bases de la vida social en la Nueva España.
