In this interdisciplinary study of gender, cross-cultural
encounters, and federal Indian policy, Margaret D. Jacobs explores
the changing relationship between Anglo-American women and Pueblo
Indians before and after the turn of the century. During the late
nineteenth century, the Pueblos were often characterized by women
reformers as barbaric and needing to be "uplifted" into
civilization. By the 1920s, however, the Pueblos were widely
admired by activist Anglo-American women, who challenged
assimilation policies and worked hard to protect the Pueblos'
"traditional" way of life.
Deftly weaving together an analysis of changes in gender roles,
attitudes toward sexuality, public conceptions of Native peoples,
and federal Indian policy, Jacobs argues that the impetus for this
transformation in perception rests less with a progressively
tolerant view of Native peoples and more with fundamental shifts in
the ways Anglo-American women saw their own sexuality and social
responsibilities.
