The introduction by Professor Kelley adds scholarly analysis to the poignant autobiographical narrative.\"-Booklist \"A powerful chronicle. . . . It deserves an important place in the annals of American Indian oral history and literature.\"-Bernard L. Fontana, New Mexico Historical Review \"A valuable document . . . about the effects of the Diáz Indian policy in Sonora on the human beings who were its object. [It] tells the story of the social limbo created by the shattering of families and corruption of personal relations under the relentless pressures of the Yaqui deportation program.\"-Edward H. Spicer, Arizona and the West \"The nightmare world of witchcraft and dream-dependence is one of the major fascinations of this strange and moving book. . . . [Its understatement] acquires a kind of fascinating power, as does the laconic stoicism of the Yaqui himself.\"-Southern California Quarterly Jane Holden Kelley, a professor of archaeology at the University of Calgary, is the author of Yaqui Women: Contemporary Life Histories (1978), also a Bison Book. Her father, William Curry Holden, a trained historian and anthropologist, met the Yaqui narrator of this chronicle, Rosalio Moisés, in 1934.
