Reviews

Marinella Lentis deftly lays out the terrain of Indian school art programs... A significant contribution to the field, Colonized through Art clearly, succinctly, and broadly expands our knowledge of the ways government officials pushed assimilation through art--not to mention the resistance many Native students creatively expressed. - Linda M. Waggoner, author of Fire Light: The Life of Angel De Cora, Winnebago Artist
