I was assigned to read this book for a Native American Cultures class and when I first opened it, I was astonished it had even been published. First, there were more than a few editing mistakes. It was almost as if the book had never seen a editor at all! Second, the way the author writes portrays a feeling of anger and blame when addressing the stereotypes Native Americans face. While totally justified, this tone, especially for the target audience of white individuals, makes the reader feel attacked, almost as if the author is blaming the reader for perpetuating the stereotypes in the first place. The book still makes good points and brings important topics to light, but the overall tone and simple editing mistakes leads to an unenjoyable read. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
"Mihesuah's work should be required reading for elementary and upper level teachers, college instructors and parents. Let us hope it finds a wide readership in mainstream circles." Joel Monture, Multicultural Review "Professor Mihesuah goes beyond simply providing responses to common stereotypes. She provides the reader with assistance in efforts to improve understanding of her peoples... a valuable contribution in bringing greater clarity to important issues." Alejandro Garcia, Journal of Multicultural Social Work "Devon Mihesuah has provided precious insight into the racial identity and cultural struggles of American Indians... I applaud Devon Mihesuah for successfully confronting the literature of false portrayal and negative images of Indian people." Dr. Donald L. Fixico, Professor of History Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo (Shawnee, Sac & Fox, Creek, Seminole) "A good sourcebook for dispelling misconceptions and negative stereotypes about American Indians. These beliefs and attitudes exist and these statements are made in academic settings. It is fortunate that there are professors like Devon Mihesuah in classrooms to present the "other side," perhaps only once in the lifetime of some students..." Dr. Karen Swisher, Director, Center for Indian Education Arizona State University (Standing Rock Sioux) "This book will be a very useful reader for anyone truly trying to understand who American Indians really are. There is no other book on Indian images that provides the Indian "voice" that Devon maintains throughout the text." Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
