Against the long historical backdrop of 1492, Columbus, and the
Conquest, Robert Stam's wide-ranging study traces a trajectory from
the representation of indigenous peoples by others to
self-representation by indigenous peoples, often as a form of
resistance and rebellion to colonialist or neoliberal capitalism,
across an eclectic range of forms of media, arts, and social
philosophy. Spanning national and transnational media in countries
including the US, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, and Italy, Stam
orchestrates a dialogue between the western mediated gaze on the
'Indian' and the indigenous gaze itself, especially as incarnated
in the burgeoning movement of "indigenous media," that is, the use
of audio-visual-digital media for the social and cultural purposes
of indigenous peoples themselves. Drawing on examples from cinema,
literature, music, video, painting and stand-up comedy, Stam shows
how indigenous artists, intellectuals and activists are responding
to the multiple crises - climatological, economic, political,
racial, and cultural - confronting the world.
