From Library Journal
West, the current director of the Seminole/Miccosukee Photographic Archive in Fort Lauderdale, FL, deals directly with the problems and possibilities imposed upon the Seminoles by the rise of Florida as a tourist mecca during the 20th century. She clearly illustrates the Seminoles' resiliency in adapting to significant changes while still maintaining traditional cultural and social values. West documents the post-Civil War shift from traditional ways to their current position as a major economic force in the Southeastern United States. Significant challenges to the traditional Seminole economy have included the draining and dredging of the Everglades and the growth of the tourist industry. This book represents a positive and enlightening contribution to contemporary Native American ethnographies and how traditional cultures can be maintained in the face of increasing technological and informational change. Recommended for public and academic libraries.?John Dockall, Bernice P. Bishop Museum, Honolulu

Reader Reviews
Couldn't help but notice that whoever wrote up your promo of this book didn't bother to check the spelling of the title. It's "The Enduring SEMINOLES," with an "n", not Semioles. Wouldn't be so bad except it's the name of a well-known Native American people, and the misspelling is repeated throughout the blurb, even though the book title is plain to see in the photo of the cover.
