註釋In this original and engrossing book, an anthropologist and an art historian have collaborated on a unique study of the vicissitudes of the Native Americans since the arrival of the first Europeans. Their method has been to juxtapose non-Native visual images of the original Americans with the actual artifacts depicted in these paintings, drawings, engravings, and photographs. This tells us a great deal about the culture - political, economic, social, physical - of the individual or the scene portrayed; we learn whether the representation is accurate, and if not, why not; and we gather much about the attitudes of observer and subject. -- Dust jacket.
