As Hutchinson effortlessly engages with the discourse on modernity, she also mindfully reveals that Native American art in all its forms is not a subclass of America’s art history, but is, in fact, part of its continuum, which early and substantially contributed to the ‘conversation’ about what counts as American art.” - Linda M.

Hutchinson’s book will provide the reader with many valuable insights in mainly three fields. . . . First, it offers a careful and well-balanced description of what the Indian craze actually meant. . . .

Illustrated with both black and white and color plates, this book is recommended for academic and non-academic audiences interested in the topics of American art, Native art, education, racial politics, or American history. It is a book that will spark curiosity and serve as the basis for future scholarship.”\u003cbr\u003e - Heather Kline, \u003ci\u003eARLIS\/NA Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eThe Indian Craze\u003c\/i\u003e is a lucid and compelling account of the entangled histories of Native and European-American aesthetic and intersubjective exchange in the formative years of American modernism. Told with deep historical understanding, it restores subjecthood and agency to Native artists too often deprived of both by the persistence of primitivizing attitudes. Such studies as Elizabeth Hutchinson’s offer a very different, insistently hybrid history of modernism, sensitive to the ethical ambiguities that reside in virtually every instance of uneven encounter between colonizer and colonized. This is a long-awaited contribution to how we understand the complex cultural negotiations attendant on the growing aesthetic value accorded to Native arts around the turn-of-the-century.”—\u003cb\u003eAngela Miller\u003c\/b\u003e, lead author of \u003ci\u003eAmerican Encounters: Art, History, and Cultural Identity\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eThe Indian Craze\u003c\/i\u003e is not only a delight to read; it is a major contribution to American visual cultural studies.
