While the exploitation of Native Americans has long been recognized, little has been written about the manipulation of Native American figures in recent popular fiction. This study will appeal to students of Native American culture, literature, and popular culture.

- l***a (317)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThis was a brilliant international transaction. I was reticent to order from the USA but was surprised at how quickly the book came. It was well packaged and is in excellent condition. The price was also half as much as those in the UK and that included postage and taxes etc. I can thoroughly recommend this seller. Many thanks.
