5.0 out of 5 stars
Good chronological overview of this genre,
By
This review is from: From Savage to Nobleman (Hardcover)
Don't let the title of this book put you off reading it especially if you have an interest in the portrayal of Native Americans in film. Hilger writes an excellent reference tool.
Written in 1995, you'll find an in-depth discussion of how Native Americans are portrayed both stereotypically as the noble red man or alternatively as a savage. Hilger also gets into the atypical portrayal in the final chapter. Over 800 films are referenced from silent and sound productions and are discussed chronologically. Although this is written more as a textbook, for the film aficionado who focuses on the celluloid image of Native Americans, the listings of films is a wonderful reference. A short bibliography is also included as well as a good general index and a film title index. Remember this was written in 1995, so the last fifteen years are not profiled. All in all, this is a wonderful listing of films within this genre. |
