AMER INDIANS & POPULAR CUL-2CY

Beschreibung:
Americans are still fascinated by the romantic notion of the "noble savage," yet know little about the real Native peoples of North America. This two-volume work seeks to remedy that by examining stereotypes and celebrating the true cultures of American Indians today.
Happily, Hollywood no longer portrays indigenous people by using actors in "redface." Yet racist sports mascots, like Chief Wahoo of the Cleveland Indians, and racist team names, like Washington Redskins, are still acceptable. Whether one is looking at film or literature, sports or politics, does popular culture have any correlation to the reality of American Indian life and achievement?
