    • Indians on Display : Global Commodification of Native America in Performance, Art, and Museums, Paperback by Denzin, Norman K., ISBN 1611320895, ISBN-13 9781611320893, Brand New, Free shipping in the US

      Denzin (communications, U. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign) takes the unique approach of presenting his material as a wild west show, explaining how the shows (and exhibits, art and other materials) began as crude displays of Native Americans to become elaborate, idealized, and, above all, profitable. He examines with Charles Bird King's studio Indians, the traveling Indian medicine show, George Catlin's traveling Indian gallery, and Sitting Bull and Buffalo Bill in various configurations. He pays special care to shows that traveled to Germany. He also reminds us that although most of the Wild West shows have passed, we still hold them in our collective memory. He accordingly supplies substitutes that reflect what really happened to Native Americans. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
