Image Of Indians In Aphra Behn's "Widow Ranter," DionysiusLardner Boucicault's "The Octoroon" And Robert Toll's"Social Commentary In Late Nineteenth Century WhiteMinstrelsy"
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. In traditional style, Native Americans have always been portrayed as having a war to wage with the white man. The world has come to expect westerns to depict the Indians in no other manner but that of arrow slinging, horse riding, bloodthirsty savages with little other depth to their heritage. One of the primary reasons for this misguided perception came from scathing perceptions in Aphra Behn's "Widow Ranter," Dionysius Lardner Boucicault's "The Octoroon" and the Robert Toll article "Social Commentary in Late Nineteenth Century White Minstrelsy." Instrumental in setting forth an image that would perpetuate through the decades, these authors wrote of experience they have been accused of never having, effectively detrimentally branding the Indians without due cause. Indeed, Native American Indians have long been forced to endure myriad portrayals of their impression upon history's landscape, many of which have been unflattering and downright inaccurate. No additional sources cited.

Indian Captivity and Slave Narratives: Contrasts and Similarities
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of the predominant viewpoints expressed in Indian Captivity Narrative and the Slave Narratives, two of the most important types of literature produced during the American colonial period. Contends that while both were concerned with the circumstances of captivity and the ever-present temptation of escape and overall issues of race, these two narrative forms differed in the type of propaganda which they delivered (Been, 2000). Indian captivity narratives, in effect, supported the U.S. government and the mainstream white culture. Slave narratives, on the other hand, were critical of that culture and government. Indian captivity narratives saved their criticism for the Native American peoples who held whites captive. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
