(NAME-MCE) Kenneth Thomasma's books on American Indian children

[Debbie Reese]

Good morning,

My blog post today is about Kenneth Thomasma's books:

"A casting call is making the rounds in Indian 
Country... Too bad it is for the lead in a 
feature film based on Naya Nuki, one of the books 
in Thomasma's "Amazing Indian Children" series, 
which should more aptly be called "Amazing White 
Man's Indians." Those familiar with books about 
images of Indians will know my title for the 
series borrows from Robert F. Berkhofer's 
excellent book (published in 1979), The White 
Man's Indian: Images of the American Indian from Columbus to the Present."

Go here to read the rest of my post and an 
extensive review essay of Thomasma's books.
