The “Indian” in the American Imagination

Dr. Dalit Alperovich

Spring 2019

 

Course description: This course explores the significance of “Indian” images in American culture. What are the major images of the American Indian in American culture, and what is their importance in changing historical, social, political and cultural contexts? In what ways are “Indian” images used to address questions of racial and national identity and draw boundaries of normalcy? What is the meaning of prevalent American cultural phenomena such as going Native and playing Indian? The course will address these questions by exploring twentieth and twenty first century works.
