Indian Gaming: Who Wins?

Edited By Angela Mullis and David Kamper, 2000. UCLA American Indian Studies Center.

Indian Gaming: Who Wins? is an anthology of articles that examines contemporary American Indian gaming as it plays out in economics, history, literature, and law. The essays offer various viewpoints on the complicated and increasingly vexed questions attending the prerogatives exercised by American Indians when establishing gambling enterprises on their reservations. Based on a 1997 University of California, Los Angeles conference, the book includes scholarly points of view as well as a section devoted to the perspectives of those working in the gaming industry.
