FERGUS M. BORDEWICH - Killing the White Man's Indian : Reinventing of Native Americans at the End of the Twentieth Century

New York: Doubleday, 1996. 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINTING. Hardcover. 16.5x24cm. ".bravely confronts our myths and misconceptions to reveal the realities of tribal life today. Following two centuries of broken treaties and virtual extermination of the "savage red man," Americans have recast Native Americans into another equally steroetyped role, that of eternal victims, politically powerless and weakened by poverty and alcoholism, yet whose spiritual ties with the natural world form the last, best hope of salvaging our natural environment and ennobling our souls." Almost like new but for creased spine of book and jacket, jacket also slightly scuffed at head.. Very Good to Near Fine .
