Mediating Indianness

Informationen zum Autor Cathy Covell Waegner taught American Studies at the University of Siegen in Germany until her retirement in 2013. Klappentext A rich investigation of the ways in which media exploit, inform, educate, sustain, protest, and entertain Native American identities and images, from William "Buffalo Bill" Cody's claim that he was staging "true-to-life" scenes from Indian life in his shows to Native hip-hopper Quese IMC's claim that his songs tell his people's "own history." As the scholars represented here demonstrate, media of all types has served to promote disparate agendas claiming legitimacy. Zusammenfassung Investigates a wide range of media - including print, film, theatre, ritual dance, music, recorded interviews, photography, and treaty rhetoric - that have been used in exploitative, informative, educative, sustaining, protesting, or entertaining ways to negotiate Native American identities and images.
