The white man's Indian : images of the American Indian from Columbus to the present / by Berkhofer, Robert F.(CARDINAL)122667;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Pt. 1: The idea of the Indian : invention and perpetuation -- Pt. 2: From religion to anthropology : the genealogy of the scientific image of the Indian -- Pt. 3: Imagery in literature, art, and philosophy : the Indian in white imagination and ideology -- Pt. 4: Imagery and white policy : the Indian as justification and rationale.While the term "Indians" stems from the faulty geography of Columbus, that name and the images it has come to suggest have endured for five centuries, not only obscuring the true identity of the original Americans but serving as an ideological weapon in their subjugation. This text documents the self-serving stereotypes--ranging from Noble savage to bloodthirsty redskin--that Europeans and white Americans have concocted about the "Indian."

Luluwa : Central African art between heaven and earth / by Petridis, Constantijn,author.(CARDINAL)218216; Fonds Mercator,publisher.(CARDINAL)339187; Yale University Press,distributor.(CARDINAL)332061;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 231-236) and index.Living in the region between the Lubudi and Kasai rivers in south central Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Luluwa people are known for their elaborately carved male and female figure sculptures, masks, and decorative arts. Constantine Petridis draws on first-hand accounts of numerous explorers, missionaries, colonial servants, anthropologists, and art historians who visited the region between the 1880s and the 1970s, to comprehensively situate the Luluwa's ornate art in its original environment of production and use. Through a close study of published and unpublished sources as well as museum objects and archival photographs, this book sheds new light on the historical context of one of central Africa's most spectacular artistic legacies, whose creation presumably dates back to the second half of the 19th century.
