Seeing Red–Hollywood’s Pixeled Skins: American Indians and Film

Description

“Seeing Red–Hollywood’s Pixeled Skins” is a sterling anthology of critical reviews that interrogates and reexamines the ways in which American Indians have been portrayed in film. These reviews by prominent scholars of American Indian Studies are accessible, personal, intimate, oftentimes autobiographic, and foreground the dramatic, frequently ridiculous difference between the experience of native peoples and its depiction in film. “Seeing Red” draws on the stereotypical representations of the past to suggest ways of seeing American Indians and indigenous peoples more clearly today.
