Originally published in 1980, <em>The Lumbee Problem<\/em> traces the political and legal history of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lumbee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lumbee Indians<\/a> of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Robeson_County,_North_Carolina\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Robeson County, North Carolina<\/a>, arguing that Lumbee political activities have been powerfully affected by the interplay between their own and others&#8217; conceptions of who they are. The book offers insights into the workings of racial ideology and practice in both the past and the present South\u2014and particularly into the nature of Indianness as it is widely experienced among non-reservation Southeastern Indians. Race and ethnicity, as concepts and as elements guiding action, are seen to be at the heart of the matter. By exploring these issues and their implications as they are worked out in the United States, Blu brings much-needed clarity to the question of how such concepts are\u2014or should be\u2014applied across real and perceived cultural borders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How does a group of people who have American Indian ancestry but no records of treaties, reservations, Native language, or peculiarly &#8220;Indian&#8221; customs come to be accepted\u2014socially and legally\u2014as Indians?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1649,11,459,8,17,3015,20],"tags":[15547,15546,15548,879,10628,335],"class_list":["post-33141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-anthropology","category-books","category-history","category-media-archive","category-monographs","category-native-americans","category-usa","tag-karen-blu","tag-karen-i-blu","tag-lumbee-indians","tag-north-carolina","tag-robeson-county","tag-university-of-nebraska-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33141","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=33141"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33141\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53626,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33141\/revisions\/53626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=33141"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=33141"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=33141"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
