EDITORI RIUNITI 2006 Prefazione di Maurizio Vaudagna L'opera di Washburn traccia, in un'ampia panoramica storica che va dalla scoperta del nuovo mondo all'epoca attuale, le tappe fondamentali del rapporto tra americani bianchi e indiani. Alla narrazione degli avvenimenti, di cui viene offerta una sintesi efficace, si accompagna l'analisi delle trasformazioni che la cultura indiana ha subito a contatto con l'influsso della civiltà bianca. Washburn offre in questo volume un'approfondita introduzione all'argomento, collocandosi nell'ambito di quel filone storiografico che studia la resistenza dei gruppi subalterni all'egemonia bianca negli Stati Uniti. Il libro è completato da un saggio bibliografico che tocca anche gli aspetti letterari e antropologici della questione indiana.
