About this book

John Collier's From Every Zenith: A Memoir; and Some Essays on Life and Thought is a deeply reflective account of a life dedicated to social reform, Indigenous advocacy, and progressive policy. As a pioneering Commissioner of Indian Affairs during the New Deal (1933–1938), Collier played a crucial role in reshaping U.S. government policies toward Native American communities, championing cultural preservation, self-governance, and economic empowerment.

This memoir offers an intimate look at Collier's journey—from his early influences to his groundbreaking work in Indian affairs—revealing the convictions that fueled his lifelong commitment to justice and reform. Alongside his personal recollections, the book includes selections of his poetry and thought-provoking essays on economic development in the Third World, where he explores the intersections of culture, policy, and sustainable progress.

Blending history, philosophy, and literary expression, From Every Zenith is both a testament to Collier's enduring legacy and a meditation on the broader challenges of social change. Essential reading for those interested in American history, Indigenous rights, and the intellectual currents that shaped 20th-century reform movements.
