Reviews

Indians and Europe is a handsome collection of essays, lavishly and fascinatingly illustrated, that examines the interaction between Europe and Native American Indians, from early times when the Indians were barely a credited myth, through various stages in the relationship from fascination to fear, hatred, contempt and finally--on the part of Europeans--guilt at the near genocide that was the eventual fate of so many Indian cultures. Not least of the vast study's virtues is that it gives as much attention to the Indians' view of Europe and the Europeans as to the more familiar Eurocentric picture. --History Today, Oct 1999
