Jennifer Guiliano

Indian Spectacle

College Mascots and the Anxiety of Modern America

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Explores the ways in which white, middle-class Americans have consumed narratives of masculinity, race, and collegiate athletics through the lens of Indian-themed athletic identities, mascots, and music. Guiliano investigates the role of sports mascots in twentieth-century American college football in order to connect mascotry to expressions of community identity, individual belonging, stereotyped imagery, and cultural hegemony.
