Picturing Indians: Native Americans in Film, 1941-1960
In Picturing Indians: Native Americans in Film, 1941-1960, Liza Black presents a vivid portrait of the complicated experiences of Native actors on the sets of midcentury Hollywood Westerns. This behind-the-scenes look at costuming, makeup, contract negotiations, and union disparities uncovers an all-too-familiar narrative of racism and further complicates filmmakers' choices to follow mainstream representations of "Indianness".
