And that is ALL that is on Page 532, as it is the short 'foreward' to the Chapter, which starts on page 533 and has NOTHING to do with what the racist bastard on this site has written above. Neither do the preceding pages, or those which come after....

Just so's folk know....

"By the time I had turned the final page, I felt angry enough...to want to shout from the rooftops, "Wake up, America, before it's too late!" For Matthiessen, in this extraordinary, complex work, powerfully propounds several disturbing themes which the white majority in America will ignore at extreme peril." - Nick Kotz, The Washington Post

"Mathiessen presents a convincing case not only for a retrial of Leonard Peltier but also for a re-examinatino of the real cost of the American Dream-in human lives, in mockery of justice, in squandered earth." - USA Today


'....Kept off the shelves for eight years because of one of the most protracted and bitterly fought legal cases in publishing history, In The Spirit of Crazy Horse, makes clear why the traditional Indian concept of the sacred inviolability of the earth is so important, especially at a time when increasing populations are destroying the precious resources of our world. '

ALL the above quotes are taken from the outer back cover of the book.
