Throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Germans
exhibited a widespread cultural passion for tales and
representations of Native Americans. This book explores the
evolution of German national identity and its relationship with the
ideas and cultural practices around "Indianthusiasm." Pervasive and
adaptable, imagery of Native Americans was appropriated by Nazi
propaganda and merged with exceptionalist notions of German
tribalism, oxymoronically promoting the Nazis' racial ideology.
This book combines cultural and intellectual history to scrutinize
the motifs of Native American imagery in German literature, media,
and scholarship, and analyzes how these motifs facilitated the
propaganda effort to nurture national pride, racial thought,
militarism, and hatred against the Allied powers among the German
populace.
