In this collection of accessible essays for general readers and undergraduates, Markowitz (Washington and Lee University) brings together scholars in American Indian studies, literature, history, and cultural anthropology (plus a Native American filmmaker) to challenge the dominant ideologies concerning Native Americans that have been dished up by the mainstream cinema over the past 100 years; they also review recent independent productions, covering a total of 36 films, from 1925 to 2004. Many of the essays contain autobiographical elements, and all are written to appeal to nonacademic readers on a personal level, often using humor to highlight stereotypes and misrepresentations. The reviews are grouped in 11 sections on themes such as John Ford and 'The Duke' on the warpath, Disney films, love stories, and depictions of children. Each chapter begins with a small photo of a b&w film poster. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
