Review title: Propaganda Rather Than History
Product review: The Costos have edited a volume which makes the Native American case against the Spanish/Mexican mission system in California. This is an entirely legitimate and plausible position to take, but the manner of its presentation here falls far short of normal standards for responsible history. Unsubstantiated rumors, personal diatribes, and factual inaccuracies take the place of careful research or any striving toward a balanced assessment. Students of contemporary Indian politics will nonetheless find some interesting and useful material mixed in the volume. As a whole, though, the mixture does no credit to its editors or its publisher.
