5.0 out of 5 stars
An important contribution to understanding Fred Harvey,
By TorpedoEight (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Imagining Indians in the Southwest: Persistent Visions of a Primitive, (Hardcover)
Leah Dilworth's book is one that anyone with an interest in the Southwest and its history should read. Through a close examination of the texts (postcards, artwork, journals, magazine articles and the like) published during the 1880-1950 era, she provides new and thought-provoking insights into the treatment of native Americans and Hispanics in the emerging Southwest. The book also contains a careful study of the role of the Fred Harvey Company in opening the Navajo, Hopi and other peoples to trade and tourism which is brilliant. A book I read recently about Harvey stated that "its buyers never consciously took advantage of the Indians." To find out exactly how ridiculous that statement really is, read this book!
