ISBN10: 0872863484, ISBN13: 9780872863484, [publisher: CITY LIGHTS Jan 1998] Softcover Neuware - Cultural Studies/ Native American Studies. In this volume of incisive essays, Ward Churchill looks at representations of American Indians in literature and film, delineating a history of cultural propaganda that has served to support the continued colonization of Native America. The primary means by which this is accomplished, Churchill argues, is through the powerful publishing and film industries. Whether they are the tragically doomed noble savages walking into the sunset of Dances With Wolves or Carlos Castaneda's Don Juan, the exotic and quaint dispenser of native wisdom to non-natives, these mythical Indians constitute no threat to the established order. This book is offered to counter these forces and to move people to take action on issues confronting American Indians today. One of the most outspoken of current Native American activists, Churchill. is an amazingly consistent and perceptive writer-Publishers Weekly.
