5.0 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Study of Shameful Stereotypes, August 7, 2003

S. Stroshane (Brighton, Massachusetts United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Shadows of the Indian: Stereotypes in American Culture (Paperback)

With sometimes wry humor, Raymond Stedman shows us one shameful stereotype of American Indians after another, and makes one realize how these images have become engraved on our subconscious in films, novels, and sports mascots. From bloodthirsty savages to noble creatures of nature, impossibly muscular warriors to nubile, nearly-naked maidens, Indians have never been depicted as ordinary human beings with the same feelings we all share. This book should be on reading lists in schools everywhere!
