About this title

Book Description:

"A deep and engaging exploration of the German fascination with Native American peoples. As a skilled historian of German culture who possesses an infectious curiosity about his subject, Penny is an ideal guide to this unique topic."--Frederick E. Hoxie, author of This Indian Country: American Indian Activists and the Place They Made

From the Inside Flap:

How do we explain the persistent preoccupation with American Indians in Germany and the staggering numbers of Germans one encounters as visitors to Indian country? As H. Glenn Penny demonstrates, that preoccupation is rooted in an affinity for American Indians that has permeated German cultures for two centuries. He also assesses what persists of the affinity across the political ruptures of modern German history and challenges readers to rethink how cultural history is made.
