Playing Indian.

Deloria, Philip J. (Author).

Summary:

Moving from the Boston Tea Party to the present, explores the ways non-Indian Americans have acted out their fantasies about Indians in order to experience national, modern, & personal identities. In this complicated tug-of-war between imaginings & actions, Indian people have been embraced & rejected, frequently humiliated & occasionally empowered. The historical anxieties revealed continue to haunt Americans-both Indian & non-Indian-to this day.
