Radical Hope: Ethics in the Face of Cultural Devastation Paperback – 1 April 2008

This book is simply wonderful. I, a Crow tribal member who grew up near Pryor, MT, found this reading both illuminating and inspiring. Lear’s account of Chief Plenty Coups’ example of virtue through metaphysical devastation will leave a lasting impression on any who read this amazing work. Lear’s synthesis of Aristotelian courage with Crow bravery highlights just how virtuous tribal life was before the Buffalo went away. I am grateful to have found this book and I believe that all Natives must read it.

An eye-opener!

...if you would be informed about our present time. Beautifully written, a powerful account of courage and a ought-to-be heeded call to build a 'new world order'. This small treasure of a book should become a valued classic map to a better tomorrow.

Very good booth for someone to understand what cultural devastation can do to an individual as well as a group and how they can overcome it.

Very interested subject. Not easy to read, but you get a lot to think ... And this last one is what this book is for ...
