A tour de force of imaginative synthesis and an extraordinary illuminating interpretation of American culture--subtly argued and beautifully written. "Jackson Lears, author of Something for Nothing: Luck in America"
In this rich and restless book, Alan Trachtenberg brushes the idea of 'the Indian' across the grain of American culture from 1855 through World War I. He shows the doubling and redoubling of Indian and American, native and immigrant--the shape-shifting of American identity in all its peculiar opulence. The result is enlightening on every page.
