This book examines the resurgence of anti-Native Americanism since
the start of Donald Trump's bid for the US Presidency. From the
time Trump announced his intention to run for president, racism
directed towards Native Americans has become an increasingly
visible part of cultural and political life in the United States.
From the completion of the Dakota Access Pipeline to the
controversies surrounding Elizabeth Warren's identity, to open
mockery by teenagers wearing MAGA hats, anti-Native Americanism is
now at its most visible in the United States since the early
twentieth century. This volume places this resurgent anti-Native
Americanism into an appropriate contemporary context by
demonstrating how historical forces have created the foundation
upon which many of these controversies are built. Chapters examine
three key processes in US history and how they have shaped today's
political climate: violence as a force of attitudinal change; the
root issues at the heart of Native American identity politics; and
the dismissal of modern Native American inequalities through a
prolonged European American fascination with the imagery of the
noble savage.
