Nineteenth-century writer Karl May wrote novels about a
fictionalized American Wild West that count among the most popular
books of German literature to this day. His stories left an imprint
on German culture, resulting in a variety of Wild West festivals
featuring Native Americans and frontier settlers. These Karl May
festivals are hosted widely throughout German-speaking countries
today. This book, based on years of fieldwork observing and
studying the festivals, plays, events, and groups that comprise
this subculture, addresses a larger, timely issue: cultural
transfer and appropriations. Are Germans dressing up in American
Indian costumes paying tribute or offending the cultures they are
representing? Avoiding simplistic answers, A. Dana Weber considers
the complexity of cultural enactments as they relate both to the
distinctly German phenomenon as well as to larger questions of
cultural representations in American and European live performance
traditions.
