WHAT THE WHITE RACE MAY LEARN FROM THE INDIAN

Descripción

Inscribed by George Wharton James on the half-title. Influenced by his own experiences with the Navajo and other indigenous peoples of the American Southwest, James (1858-1923) expressed sympathy, admiration, and recognition of Native Americans in his writings, eschewing the "vanishing race" narrative and other forms of Social Darwinism popular among many of his contemporaries. He made it his mission to "break down his countrymen's resistance to acknowledge fundamental Indian humanity" and maintained that whites refused to acknowledge the good in Indians "because of a strange psychological tendency among people to deny the honorable and noble in those that they have injured." Octavo: 269 p. with numerous textual photographs. Original burgundy cloth binding, with gilt titles. The spine is a touch sun faded, with some wear to the corners and tips; else about very good. N° de ref. del artículo 76413
