Destroying Dogma Vine Deloria Jr. and His

Paying tribute to the late Native American scholar Vine Deloria Jr., Destroying Dogmafollows the ripples of thought set in motion by Deloria's visionary words. This collection of essays by prominent writers and intellectuals demonstrates the breadth and influence of Deloria's life work. While covering a diverse array of topics, such as religious freedom, evolution, and the direction of leadership in Native communities, the essays all share Deloria's enduring notion that dogma is the enemy of critical thinking. Steve Pavlik teaches science at Tucson Preparatory School and is an adjunt faculty member in geopgraphy for Pima Community College. He has published extensively in the field of American Indian studies and is the editor of A Good Cherokee, A Good Anthropologist: Papers in Honor of Robert K. Thomas.
