Product Information
Winner of the 2005 Francis Parkman Prize A century ago, U.S. policy aimed to sever the tribal allegiances of Native Americans, limit their ancient liberties, and coercively prepare them for citizenship. At the same time millions of arriving immigrants sought their freedom by means of that same citizenship. In this subtle, eye-opening new work, Alan Trachtenberg argues that the two developments were, inevitably, juxtaposed: Indians and immigrants together preoccupied the public imagination, and together changed the idea of what it meant to be American. To begin with, programs of "Americanization" were organized for both groups, yet Indians were at the same time celebrated as noble "First Americans" and role models. Trachtenberg traces the peculiar effect of this implicit contradiction, with Indians themselves staging "The Song of Hiawatha" (which was also translated into Yiddish); Edward Curtis's poignant photographs memorializing vanishing heroism; and the Wanamaker department store making a fortune from commercialized versions of their once reviled cultures. By 1925 the national narrative had been rewritten, and citizenship was granted to Indians as a birthright, while the National Origins Act began to close the door on immigrants. In Shades of Hiawatha, Trachtenberg eloquently suggests that we must re-create America's tribal creation story in new ways if we are to reaffirm its beckoning promise of universal liberty.

Reviews
"Shades of Hiawathais a tour de force of imaginative synthesis, ranging from Ellis Island to the Black Hills, and from Yiddish poetry to the photographs of Edward Curtis. Once again, Alan Trachtenberg has given us an extraordinary illuminating interpretation of American culture--subtly argued and beautifully written, a pleasure to read and ponder." --Jackson Lears, author ofSomething for Nothing: Luck in America "In this fascinating, richly documented study, Alan Trachtenberg recreates the role assigned to the 'Indian' during the American crisis over 'racial' identity at the turn of the twentieth century (largely a matter of skin color). At that juncture--when the black African-American minority was under attack by new Jim Crow laws, and the dominant white cohort of Anglo-Saxon and northern European ancestry feared being engulfed by waves of uncouth Italian, Polish, Russian, and Jewish immigrants--the continent's red tribes were called to the rescue. Having been expelled from their lands, murdered by the thousands, and dismissed as the 'Vanishing Americans,' 'Indians' were recast in the heroic mold of Longfellow's sentimentally idealized hero as authentic 'First Americans.' To recover this critical chapter in our national saga of racial hypocrisy, Trachtenberg combines an incisive analysis of artifacts drawn from high and popular culture--literature, political rhetoric, photography, sculpture, painting, dramatic enactments, department store displays--with a firm account of the political, legislative, economic, and demographic background. Trachtenberg is one of the most accomplished practitioners of interdisciplinary American studies, and this stunning book is a tribute to its methods." --Leo Marx, Kenan Professor of American Cultural History (Emeritus) and Senior Lecturer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology "In this extraordinarily original book, Trachtenberg explores the ways that Americans used images of Indians and European immigrants to help define their evolving concept of the nation. Beginning with a fascinating analysis of the effect of Longfellow's famous poem, and after five superb chapters in which various spokesmen and figures present their views of red, black, and white peoples, he ends his beautifully crafted, often eloquent narrative by praising Luther Standing Bear, who imagined a humane nation as 'a great bridge woven of tribal stories,' in Trachetenberg's words. 'His challenging vision deserves to be honored in the ongoing drama of the making of Americans.'" --Howard R. Lamar, editor ofThe New Encyclopedia of the American West "In this rich and restless book, Alan Trachtenberg brushes the idea of 'the Indian' across the grain of American culture from 1855 through World War I. He shows the doubling and redoubling of Indian and American, native and immigrant--the shape-shifting of American identity in all its peculiar opulence. A lifetime of scholarship enables him to measure the value of the less familiar (Luther Standing Bear, the miraculous Felix Cohen) against that of the familiar (Henry James, W. E. B. DuBois). The result is enlightening on every page." --Scott Malcomson, One Drop of Blood: The American Misadventure of Race "In this fascinating book, as sensitive and compelling in its readings of poetry as in its analyses of popular culture and photography, Trachtenberg is concerned with how the condition of native Americans in the late nineteenth and earl y twentieth centuries was interpreted, also with the uses to which the interpretations were put and the unacknowledged agendas motivating them. Whether considering the cultural ambitions of a department-store magnate or the apparent anomaly of a Yiddish translation ofThe Song of Hiawatha, he sheds new light on the uneasy questions that haunt all Americans about their own originality and authenticity." --John Hollander Praise forReading American Photographs:<b
