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