';Perry undertakes the enormous task of analyzing the historical workings of the reservation system, using the San Carlos Apache as a case study.' The American Historical Review ';Indian reservations' were the United States' ultimate solution to the ';problem' of what to do with native peoples who already occupied the western lands that Anglo settlers wanted. In this broadly inclusive study, Richard J. Perry considers the historical development of the reservation system and its contemporary relationship to the American state, with comparisons to similar phenomena in Canada, Australia, and South Africa. The San Carlos Apache Reservation of Arizona provides the lens through which Perry views reservation issues. One of the oldest and largest reservations, its location in a minerals- and metals-rich area has often brought it into conflict with powerful private and governmental interests. Indeed, Perry argues that the reservation system is best understood in terms of competition for resources among interest groups through time within the hegemony of the state. He asserts that full control over their resourcesand hence, over their liveswould address many of the Apache's contemporary economic problems.
