Surviving Conquest: A History of the Yavapai Peoples. By Timothy Braatz. (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2003. 301 pp. Maps, notes, bibliography, index. $55.00.)

Timothy Braatz has successfully brought the Yavapais out of the historical and historiographical shadows in Surviving Conquest, a thoroughly researched and engaging investigation into one of the most misunderstood indigenous communities of the American Southwest. Often labeled "Apache-Mohaves," "Apache-Yumans," or simply "Apaches," the Yavapais are four related, though distinct, groups known as the Kwevkepayas, Wipukepas, Yavapes, and Tolkepayas, going east to west in central Arizona. This corrective is only one of many provided by Braatz as he challenges an "imperialist history" that dehumanizes Yavapais and privileges American expansionism as morally acceptable and natural (p. 14). By presenting Yavapais as resilient and innovative actors who shaped the history of Arizona and the Southwest, Braatz sets the record straight on an era and region still dominated by one-sided accounts that ignore the motivations and perspectives of Native peoples.
