Book To Be Indian

Download or read book To Be Indian written by Joy Porter and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2023-08-04 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born on the Seneca Indian Reservation in New York State, Arthur Caswell Parker (1881-1955) was a prominent intellectual leader both within and outside tribal circles. Of mixed Iroquois, Seneca, and Anglican descent, Parker was also a controversial figure-recognized as an advocate for Native Americans but criticized for his assimilationist stance. In this exhaustively researched biography-the first book-length examination of Parker’s life and career-Joy Porter explores complex issues of Indian identity that are as relevant today as in Parker’s time. From childhood on, Parker learned from his well-connected family how to straddle both Indian and white worlds. His great-uncle, Ely S. Parker, was Commissioner of Indian Affairs under Ulysses S. Grant--the first Native American to hold the position. Influenced by family role models and a strong formal education, Parker, who became director of the Rochester Museum, was best known for his work as a "museologist" (a word he coined). Porter shows that although Parker achieved success within the dominant Euro-American culture, he was never entirely at ease with his role as assimilated Indian and voiced frustration at having "to play Indian to be Indian." In expressing this frustration, Parker articulated a challenging predicament for twentieth-century Indians: the need to negotiate imposed stereotypes, to find ways to transcend those stereotypes, and to assert an identity rooted in the present rather than in the past.

Book The Indian Craze

    Book Details:
  • Author : Elizabeth Hutchinson
  • Publisher : Duke University Press
  • Release : 2009-03-23
  • ISBN : 0822392097
  • Pages : 304 pages

Download or read book The Indian Craze written by Elizabeth Hutchinson and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2009-03-23 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early twentieth century, Native American baskets, blankets, and bowls could be purchased from department stores, “Indian stores,” dealers, and the U.S. government’s Indian schools. Men and women across the United States indulged in a widespread passion for collecting Native American art, which they displayed in domestic nooks called “Indian corners.” Elizabeth Hutchinson identifies this collecting as part of a larger “Indian craze” and links it to other activities such as the inclusion of Native American artifacts in art exhibitions sponsored by museums, arts and crafts societies, and World’s Fairs, and the use of indigenous handicrafts as models for non-Native artists exploring formal abstraction and emerging notions of artistic subjectivity. She argues that the Indian craze convinced policymakers that art was an aspect of “traditional” Native culture worth preserving, an attitude that continues to influence popular attitudes and federal legislation. Illustrating her argument with images culled from late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century publications, Hutchinson revises the standard history of the mainstream interest in Native American material culture as “art.” While many locate the development of this cross-cultural interest in the Southwest after the First World War, Hutchinson reveals that it began earlier and spread across the nation from west to east and from reservation to metropolis. She demonstrates that artists, teachers, and critics associated with the development of American modernism, including Arthur Wesley Dow and Gertrude Käsebier, were inspired by Native art. Native artists were also able to achieve some recognition as modern artists, as Hutchinson shows through her discussion of the Winnebago painter and educator Angel DeCora. By taking a transcultural approach, Hutchinson transforms our understanding of the role of Native Americans in modernist culture.

Book Indo American Relations

Download or read book Indo American Relations written by Anand Mathur and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Post-cold war era provided an opportunity to India and America to rapproach and repair their bilateral relations damaged by earlier cold war perceptions. The erosion of irritating issues and the emergence of conciliatory propositions opened a new vista of cooperative relationships. What is the nature and status of Indo-US relations during the Rao-Clinton period? What could be the likely nature of the relations between the two countries in future? This book attempts to answer these questions. The difficulty with India is how to relate itself with the single dominant global power, while at the same time maintaining its independent stature and promoting a global role for itself. The US, too, is in a fix over determining India's place in the changed international relations"--Dust jacket.

Book The American Indian Mind in a Linear World

Download or read book The American Indian Mind in a Linear World written by Donald L. Fixico and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, there are three approaches to studying American Indians: from how white Americans approach Indian studies, from the dynamics or exchange of Indian-white relations and from the Indian point of view. Donald Fixico, an American Indian, has been teaching and writing history for a quarter of a century. This book is the direct result of his experience as a scholar who 'thinks like an Indian' in an academic environment created predominantly by non-Indian thinkers. This book addresses current approaches to studying Native American traditional knowledge and acknowledges an Indian intellectualism that has up until now been ignored in studying Native American history. Written primarily from inside the Native world, but fully cognizant of the American cultures outside of that world, his unique voice speaks to a need for understanding the interior Native world: a world in which linear thinking is atypical and circularity is preferable.

Book The Makings and Unmakings of Americans

Download or read book The Makings and Unmakings of Americans written by Cristina Stanciu and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2023-01-24 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenges the myth of the United States as a nation of immigrants by bringing together two groups rarely read together: Native Americans and Eastern European immigrants In this cultural history of Americanization during the Progressive Era, Cristina Stanciu argues that new immigrants and Native Americans shaped the intellectual and cultural debates over inclusion and exclusion, challenging ideas of national belonging, citizenship, and literary and cultural production. Deeply grounded in a wide-ranging archive of Indigenous and new immigrant writing and visual culture—including congressional acts, testimonies, news reports, cartoons, poetry, fiction, and silent film—this book brings together voices of Native and immigrant America. Stanciu shows that, although Native Americans and new immigrants faced different legal and cultural obstacles to citizenship, the challenges they faced and their resistance to assimilation and Americanization often ran along parallel paths. Both struggled against idealized models of American citizenship that dominated public spaces. Both participated in government-sponsored Americanization efforts and worked to gain agency and sovereignty while negotiating naturalization. Rethinking popular understandings of Americanization, Stanciu argues that the new immigrants and Native Americans at the heart of this book expanded the narrow definitions of American identity.

Book Tales of the Old Indian Territory and Essays on the Indian Condition

Download or read book Tales of the Old Indian Territory and Essays on the Indian Condition written by John Milton Oskison and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the twentieth century, Indian Territory, which would eventually become the state of Oklahoma, was a multicultural space in which various Native tribes, European Americans, and African Americans were equally engaged in struggles to carve out meaningful lives in a harsh landscape. John Milton Oskison, born in the territory to a Cherokee mother and an immigrant English father, was brought up engaging in his Cherokee heritage, including its oral traditions, and appreciating the utilitarian value of an American education. Oskison left Indian Territory to attend college and went on to have a long career in New York City journalism, working for the New York Evening Post and Collier?s Magazine. He also wrote short stories and essays for newspapers and magazines, most of which were about contemporary life in Indian Territory and depicted a complex multicultural landscape of cowboys, farmers, outlaws, and families dealing with the consequences of multiple interacting cultures. Though Oskison was a well-known and prolific Cherokee writer, journalist, and activist, few of his works are known today. This first comprehensive collection of Oskison?s unpublished autobiography, short stories, autobiographical essays, and essays about life in Indian Territory at the turn of the twentieth century fills a significant void in the literature and thought of a critical time and place in the history of the United States.

Book Indian Orphanages

    Book Details:
  • Author : Marilyn Irvin Holt
  • Publisher : University Press of Kansas
  • Release : 2001-09-13
  • ISBN : 0700613633
  • Pages : 336 pages

Download or read book Indian Orphanages written by Marilyn Irvin Holt and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2001-09-13 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With their deep tradition of tribal and kinship ties, Native Americans had lived for centuries with little use for the concept of an unwanted child. But besieged by reservation life and boarding school acculturation, many tribes—with the encouragement of whites—came to accept the need for orphanages. The first book to focus exclusively on this subject, Marilyn Holt's study interweaves Indian history, educational history, family history, and child welfare policy to tell the story of Indian orphanages within the larger context of the orphan asylum in America. She relates the history of these orphanages and the cultural factors that produced and sustained them, shows how orphans became a part of native experience after Euro-American contact, and explores the manner in which Indian societies have addressed the issue of child dependency. Holt examines in depth a number of orphanages from the 1850s to1940s--particularly among the "Five Civilized Tribes" in Oklahoma, as well as among the Seneca in New York and the Ojibway and Sioux in South Dakota. She shows how such factors as disease, federal policies during the Civil War, and economic depression contributed to their establishment and tells how white social workers and educational reformers helped undermine native culture by supporting such institutions. She also explains how orphanages differed from boarding schools by being either tribally supported or funded by religious groups, and how they fit into social welfare programs established by federal and state policies. The Indian Child Welfare Act of 1978 overturned years of acculturation policy by allowing Native Americans to finally reclaim their children, and Holt helps readers to better understand the importance of that legislation in the wake of one of the more unfortunate episodes in the clash of white and Indian cultures.

Book Sino US and Indo US Relations

Download or read book Sino US and Indo US Relations written by Pinaki Bhattacharya and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-03 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book identifies major elements that influenced Sino-US relations before the reform and opening up of said relations. These include the Taiwan question’s impact on the policies of both countries, the Korean War, the Cold War, Japan and the Sino-Soviet split. The book is divided into two complementary sections: the first addresses the evolution of Sino-US relations, while the second examines Indo-US relations, especially after 1991 and the end of the Cold War and the ‘social-imperialism’ of the USSR. In addition, the book explores the mores of the Chinese leadership; the period of the relationship’s consolidation and growth, punctuated by China’s turning to ‘market socialism’, led by Deng; the impact of the end of the Cold War; and its lasting influence. In closing, the book calls for responses to India’s play as a hedge to Chinese growth, as originally envisioned by the Clinton, Bush, and Obama Administrations. The roles that Japan, Australia and ASEAN play in this matrix are also explored.

Book The Paradoxes of Indian American Complicity

Download or read book The Paradoxes of Indian American Complicity written by Kavitha Koshy and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-10-17 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Paradoxes of Indian American Complicity: On the Racial Sidelines, Kavitha Koshy offers a timely exploration of Indian immigrant racialization at the turn of the twenty-first century. This book is a call to action for an anti-racist, decolonial practice among differentially racialized peoples. The findings of the research uncover the paradoxes of claiming deracialized, neoliberal identities, while engaging in racial contestation, benefiting from selective immigration while occupying a racialized-human capital-labor "slot" in global capitalism, and experiencing "racialized otherness" through everyday racism, despite proximity to whiteness. Koshy develops a typology of Indian immigrant racialized subjectivity amid anti-Blackness, whiteness, caste-ness, Islamophobia, "forever foreignness," and neoliberal logic.
