<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Indianthusiasm brings together interviews with twelve Indigenous authors, artists and scholars who comment on the German fascination with North American Indigenous Peoples.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>Indianthusiasm refers to the European fascination with, and fantasies about, Indigenous peoples of North America, and has its roots in nineteenth-century German colonial imagination. </b></p> <p>Often manifested in romanticized representations of the past, Indianthusiasm has developed into a veritable industry in Germany and other European nations: there are Western and so-called "Indian" theme parks and a German hobbyist scene that attract people of all social backgrounds and ages to join camps and clubs that practise beading, powwow dancing, and Indigenous lifestyles.</p> <p>Containing interviews with twelve Indigenous authors, artists, and scholars who comment on the German fascination with North American Indigenous Peoples, <i>Indianthusiasm</i> is the first collection to present Indigenous critiques and assessments of this phenomenon. The volume connects two disciplines and strands of scholarship: German Studies and Indigenous Studies, focusing on how Indianthusiam has created both barriers and opportunities for Indigenous peoples with Germans and in Germany.</p>
