Trickster Tales: The Various Anthropologies of Robert Brightman
Cora Du Bois, Henrietta Schmerler, and the Role of Women in Mid-Twentieth Century American Anthropology
Cora Du Bois (1903-1991) achieved distinction in anthropology and the U.S. government-including leadership roles in the Office of Strategic Services and the State Department, a professorship at Harvard, and the presidency of the American Anthropological Association. Her contemporary, Henrietta Schmerler (1908-1931), suffered rape and murder while conducting her first summer of ethnographic fieldwork. Despite these stark differences, when taken to…
Voicing the ancestors II: Readings in memory of George Stocking
This is the second Forum in which anthropologists give voice to a disciplinary ancestral figure of their choice. The goal is to bring to our attention the wisdom of anthropologists who were prominent at one time in the history of our discipline but whose work has fallen out of fashion or perhaps simply been buried beneath the accumulated scholarly production of their successors. Listening to these voices reminds us that however much scholarly fas…

American Indians and the American Imaginary: Cultural Representation Across the Centuries
American Indians and the American Imaginary considers the power of representations of Native Americans in American public culture. The book's wide-ranging case studies move from colonial captivity narratives to modern film, from the camp fire to the sports arena, from legal and scholarly texts to tribally-controlled museums and cultural centres. The author's ethnographic approach to what she calls "representational practices" focus on the emergen…

Selves in play: Sports, scouts, and American cultural citizenship
US youth organizations, several now celebrating their hundredth birthdays, have inherited a history of crafting selves through cultural appropriation. In organizations such as the YMCA, Boy Scouts of America, and Camp Fire Girls, woodcraft and wilderness sports associated with Native Americans have played a privileged role, serving to construct American citizens through a form of mimesis popularly known as 'playing Indian'. As dominant ways of de…
Cultural Appropriation and the Crafting of Racialized Selves in American Youth Organizations: Toward an Ethnographic Approach
This article considers three moments in the history of Camp Fire, the first American multiracial organization for girls: (1) the foundation of the organization in the 1910s through the 1930s by progressive reformers heavily influenced by ethnological scholarship on Native American rituals and symbolism; (2) the transformation of the organization into a coeducational organization in the 1970s; and (3) current efforts in the organization, now known…

The Mascot Slot: Cultural Citizenship, Political Correctness, and Pseudo-Indian Sports Symbols
Caricatures of American Indians that would not now be tolerated if they portrayed other racial or ethnic groups are institutionalized in school, university, and professional sport teams and disseminated by local, national, and internationalmedia outlets. Drawing on Aihwa Ong’s concept of cultural citizenship and adapting Michael-Rolph Trouillot’s notion of the “savage slot,” this article argues that the “mascot slot” assigned to Native Americans …
