This transnational collection discusses the use of Native American imagery in twentieth and twenty-first-century European culture. With examples ranging from Irish oral myth; through the pop image of Indians promulgated in pornography; to the philosophical appropriations of Ernst Bloch or the European far right; contributors illustrate the legend of "the Indian." Drawing on American Indian literary nationalism; postcolonialism; and transnational theories; essays demonstrate a complex nexus of power relations that seemingly allows European culture to build its own Native images; and ask what effect this has on the current treatment of indigenous peoples.

Wonderful book to read for singers!By NadiaFor any aspiring vocalists; current vocalists; teachers; family members of singers; or even just a curious reader: this is the art song bible!I have bookmarked so many pages of not just poems but suggested programs for vocal students; as well as potential art songs to look into for ones voice part or students voice part.Well written in a formal; yet casual style. Informative and full of quotes too.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A must have for for all singers.By Chic MusicThis book is highly detailed with useful information on many topics.
