Om denne bog

This scholarly yet provocative work critically examines the persistent and evolving stereotypes of Native Americans in popular literature, spanning from the 19th to the 21st centuries. The book meticulously traces the roots of these portrayals, exploring their proliferation and their lasting impact on public perception and policy.

Each chapter unveils a new layer of complexity, from the dime novels of the 1800s that painted Native Americans as savages, to children''s literature that enforced colonial narratives, and onto romance novels and popular histories that perpetuated myths and misconceptions. The authors dissect these narratives critically, revealing how they contribute to a distorted understanding of Native American heritage and culture. Through an in-depth analysis of various literary genres, including comics and graphic novels, the book challenges readers to confront and rethink the deeply ingrained stereotypes that have long shaped American consciousness.
