{"product_id":"9781609173685","title":"Seeing Red--Hollywood's Pixeled Skins: American Indians and Film","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt once informative, comic, and plaintive, \u003ci\u003eSeeing Red—Hollywood’s Pixeled Skins\u003c\/i\u003e is an anthology of critical reviews that reexamines the ways in which American Indians have traditionally been portrayed in film. From George B. Seitz’s 1925 \u003ci\u003eThe Vanishing American\u003c\/i\u003e to Rick Schroder’s 2004 \u003ci\u003eBlack Cloud\u003c\/i\u003e, these 36 reviews by prominent scholars of American Indian Studies are accessible, personal, intimate, and oftentimes autobiographic. \u003ci\u003eSeeing Red—Hollywood’s Pixeled Skins\u003c\/i\u003e offers indispensible perspectives from American Indian cultures to foreground the dramatic, frequently ridiculous difference between the experiences of Native peoples and their depiction in film. By pointing out and poking fun at the dominant ideologies and perpetuation of stereotypes of Native Americans in Hollywood, the book gives readers the ability to recognize both good filmmaking and the dangers of misrepresenting aboriginal peoples. The anthology offers a method to historicize and contextualize cinematic representations spanning the blatantly racist, to the well-intentioned, to more recent independent productions. \u003ci\u003eSeeing Red\u003c\/i\u003e is a unique collaboration by scholars in American Indian Studies that draws on the stereotypical representations of the past to suggest ways of seeing American Indians and indigenous peoples more clearly in the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michigan State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135166955760,"sku":"9781609173685","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781609173685_p0.jpg?v=1763837750","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781609173685","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
