It addresses a range of portrayals, from the bloodthirsty barbarians and noble savages of dime novels, to formulaic secondary characters and sidekicks, and, occasionally, protagonists sans paternal white hero, examining how and why Native Americans have been consistently marginalized and misrepresented in comics. Chapters cover early representations of Native Americans in popular culture and newspaper comic strips, the Fenimore Cooper legacy, the white Indian, the shaman, revisionist portrayals, and Native American comics from small publishers, among other topics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eimportant...recommended\"\" - \u003cem\u003eChoice\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\"a groundbreaking work...should be celebrated as an introduction to this much-neglected area of study\"\" - \u003cem\u003eWorld Literature Today\u003c\/em\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040412598615,"sku":"9781476667997","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476667997.jpg?v=1750946665","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/native-americans-in-comic-books-9781476667997","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
