Deeply grounded in a wide-ranging archive of Indigenous and new immigrant writing and visual culture--including congressional acts, testimonies, news reports, cartoons, poetry, fiction, and silent film--this book brings together voices of Native and immigrant America. Stanciu shows that, although Native Americans and new immigrants faced different legal and cultural obstacles to citizenship, the challenges they faced and their resistance to assimilation and Americanization often ran along parallel paths. Both struggled against idealized models of American citizenship that dominated public spaces. Both participated in government-sponsored Americanization efforts and worked to gain agency and sovereignty while negotiating naturalization. Rethinking popular understandings of Americanization, Stanciu argues that the new immigrants and Native Americans at the heart of this book expanded the narrow definitions of American identity."--Dust jacket. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 291-338) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: 'Indians' and immigrants: Toward a cultural history of exclusion -- Native acts, immigrant acts: Citizenship, naturalization, and the performance of civic identity -- 'You can't come in!-- the quota for 1620 is full': Americanization, exclusion, representation -- 'That is why I sent you to Carlisle': Native education, print culture, and Americanization at Carlisle Indian Industrial School, 1879-1918 -- 'Sing, Strangers!': Education, print culture, and the Americanization of new immigrants -- Americanization on native terms: The society of American Indians, citizenship debates, and tropes of 'racial difference' in Native print culture -- 'This was America!': Americanization and immigrant literature at the beginning of the twentieth century -- Spectacular nationalism: Immigrants on the silver screen, Americanization, and the picture show -- From 'vanishing Indians' to 'redskins': American Indians on the silver screen - Conclusion. 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a American literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a American literature $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Indians in literature. 650 0 $a East Europeans in literature. 650 0 $a Immigrants in literature. 650 0 $a American literature $x Indian authors. 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a East Europeans in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901033 650 7 $a Immigrants in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967800 650 7 $a Indians in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969419 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Henry Roe Cloud series on American Indians and modernity. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023846.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4A3007440CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
