"Blansett''s meticulous research pays due respect to Oakes'' massive contribution to the Red Power movement but avoids the hubris of hagiography by understanding Oakes as a flawed individual who could be polarizing and difficult . . . Blansett''s balanced writing combines with copious photos and maps that bring the story to life."--Dina Gilio-Whitaker, Los Angeles Times " A Journey to Freedom will engage readers in Native communities and in college and university classrooms, and casual readers will also find themselves avidly turning the page to see what comes next."--Laurie Arnold, The Sixties " A Journey to Freedom is the nonfiction complement to Tommy Orange''s best-selling novel There There (2018) . . . an exemplary work that recovers an important period in modern California history and casts it in a new, richer light."--Randall A. Lake, California History "This thorough and balanced account places [Richard Oakes''] life within the broader framework of Indian affairs stretching from WW I through the termination and relocation policies of the 1950s. Likewise, the book corrects many long-held misunderstandings about the birth of the Red Power movement and its sometimes adversarial participants. "-- Choice "This scholarly yet reader-friendly text will enlighten readers about an often-overlooked part of a continuing civil rights struggle."-- Publishers Weekly "Published on the eve of the fiftieth anniversary of the 1969 takeover of Alcatraz Island, this text is as timely as it is necessary . . . Blansett creates a masterful biography of one of the most important figures of the Red Power movement."--Paul McKenzie Jones, Western Historical Quarterly , Summer 2000 " A Journey to Freedom makes for an engaging read that can appeal to a broad audience . . . This study thus solidly roots [Richard] Oakes in a history of American Indian activism in the modern period . . . which includes contributing to the development of Native American Studies programs, shifting the course of American Indian activism, and influencing federal policy reforms toward self-determination . . . Oakes became a spokesperson, leader, and symbol for Red Power . . . "--Nicholas G. Rosenthal, Reviews in American History , March 2020 ". . . a powerful contribution to our understanding of Native American sovereignty, community, human rights, and identity . . . This book should be required reading for all students of recent Native American history as well as for those seeking to understand the similarities and differences between the social justice movements of the mid-twentieth century and the centuries-long quest for self-determination and human rights of Native Americans."--Sarah Eppler Janda, American Historical Review "Writing from the heart, Kent Blansett demonstrates the sui generis leadership of Richard Oakes in the big picture of Native nationalism that rocked federal-Indian relations and captured public attention in the quest for sovereignty."--Donald L. Fixico, author of Call for Change: The Medicine Way of American Indian History, Ethos, and Reality "In this exhaustively researched and brilliant work, Kent Blansett centers the story on Mohawk leader Richard Oakes. A Journey to Freedom is a powerfully told and richly documented biography of one of Indian Country''s most important leaders and contributes to our understanding of the Red Power Movement, the occupation of Alcatraz Island, Native American activism in the twentieth century, and the urban Indian experience."--Amy Lonetree, author of Decolonizing Museums: Representing Native America in National and Tribal Museums "Kent Blansett''s deeply researched and well-told biography reveals the centrality of tribal nationalism in Intertribal organizing.
