In this collection, Churchill undertakes the monumental task of deconstructing the American myth, what he terms “a weird psychic stew in which imperial/racist arrogance has been blended with the most sanctimonious professions of peaceful innocence.” He roots this mythology in the European invasion of the Americas, and this reader covers a broad range of topics concerning past and present Native North America — from land issues to the American Indian Movement, depictions of Indians in US culture, and government inconsistencies in dealing with its indigenous peoples.
Extensively annotated.
