In this volume of incisive assays, Ward Churchill looks at representations of American Indians in literature and film, delineating a history of cultural progaganda that has served to support the continued colonization of Native America. Literature and art crafted by the dominant culture are an insidious political force, disinforming people who might otherwise develop a clearer understanding of indigenous struggles for jestice and freedom. This book is offered to counter that deception, and to move people to take action on issues confronting American Indians today.
