Review of Tsuk Mitchell’s Book on Felix Cohen

Here is Steve Russell’s review in Wicaso Sa of Dalia Tsuk Mitchell’s wonderful book, “Architect of Justice: Felix S. Cohen and the Founding of American Legal Pluralism” — russell-review-of-tsuk-mitchell

An excerpt:

Mitchell’s telling of Cohen’s career is a must read for American Indian intellectuals–that is, Indians who think theory matters. In our time, we fight our own battles, but there is no need to reinvent the thoughts of our late Jewish ally. All of us who find ourselves thrust willy-nilly into the sovereignty wars because of where we come from stand on the shoulders of the Felix S. Cohens as well as the Vine Deloria Jrs. It’s an honorable place to stand, and this book illuminates many of the reasons why.

Agreed.
