Biography

David R. M. Beck is an accomplished author and historian, focused on the intersections of American Indian policy and urban American Indian history. His award-winning works include 'Struggle for Self-Determination' and 'City Indian,' both of which explore historical narratives related to Indigenous peoples in the United States. Beck's recent analysis in 'Unfair Labor?' investigates the economic history and labor conditions of Native Americans at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Currently, he is working on a book that examines the U.S. government's treatment of Indigenous peoples during the Cold War. For over two decades, he taught Native American Studies at the University of Montana before his tenure at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His scholarly contributions have been recognized with numerous awards, including the Distinguished Service Award from the Wisconsin Historical Society.
