Summary

"Summary: The history of the Apache diaspora is laid out in this book in eight roughly chronological chapters. Each chapter also possesses a thematic focus on a key location to which Apaches were displaced over time: palaces, prisons, schools. The first part of the book begins by tracing precolonial histories of captivity and migration before examining the formation of Apache diasporas in the context of Spanish, Comanche, and French colonialism. Part II explores the role that empires and nation-states played in the history of Apache diasporas in the centuries to come"--
