Undercounting Native Americans: The 1980 Census and the Manipulation of Racial Identity in the United States.
Forbes, Jack D.
WICAZO SA Review, v6 n1 p2-26 Spr 1990
Argues that, since at least 1969, the Census Bureau, under pressure from political special interest groups, has misrepresented the "racial" character of the U.S. population and has misplaced 6 to 8 million persons of Native American ancestry into a scientifically useless "Hispanic/Spanish" category. Contains approximately 45 references. (SV)
