Injuns! by Edward Buscombe
The indispensable sage, fierce enemy, silent sidekick: the role of Native Americans in film has been largely confined to identities defined by the white' perspective. This title examines cinematic depictions of Native Americans from a global perspective. It surveys nineteenth-century visual culture from dime novels to Wild West shows on stage.
'This is a superb book on a topic that all too often in the past has provoked texts that either merely list movies that have purported to represent Native Americans or fulminate against what they see as Hollywood's invariable recourse to stereotype, as if both Indians and Hollywood were unchanging entities.. The book's main virtues are the range of its coverage, its overall approach, and the way it is written ... Buscombe's work is authoritative ... It constitutes fine film history and makes a valuable contribution to American cultural history.' - American Historical Review '... a concise and accessible survey of Native Americans in American history, art, literature, and film.' - The Historian
Edward Buscombe was formerly Head of Publishing at the British Film Institute, has written extensively on the Western, including books on John Ford's Stagecoach (1992) and The Searchers (2000), and has edited The BFI Companion to the Western (1988).
