Indian & White : Self-Image and Interaction in a Canadian Plains Community
$17.89
Book
Writing about a small band of Cree Indians living in western Canada, the author analyzes their complex relations with the White townspeople and ranchers living around them. Each group is remarkably homogeneous, and each feels moral superiority over the other, the Indians despite the general societal view of White superiority and Indian “profaneness.” How and why an enduring equilibrium involving little overt conflict has been established is explained in terms of symbolic interaction. The author shows how certain cultural values, Indian and White, are not only guidelines and goals of behavior but also symbolic means of presenting, evaluating, and defining the self.
After a discussion of the main concepts of symbolic interactionism, the author describes the community, the aboriginal Indian way of life, and the historical events that attended White settlement of the area. Detailed descriptions of the day-to-day interaction between Indians and Whites are then considered: the rules of etiquette and personal comportment, how the Indians are seen by Whites as breaking these rules, and the various adaptive strategies that the Indians have adopted in dealing with White reactions to their “profaneness.” A final chapter discusses the usefulness of symbolic interaction in understanding the process of acculturation.
Niels Winther Braroe is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Brown University
"A well-done and interesting study which focuses on a variety of questions that are usually ignored when white researchers attempt to describe Amerindians."--Gerd Schroeter, "The Journal of Ethnic Studies." (Anthropology)
