A New Deal For Native Art : Indian Arts And Federal Policy, 1933-1943

Attribution
Jennifer McLerranPublication Details
BookUniversity of Arizona Press2009Description
In A New Deal for Native Art Jennifer McLerran reveals how positioning the native artist as a pre-modern Other served the goals of New Deal programs?and how this sometimes worked at cross-purposes with promoting native self-sufficiency. In this first book to address the ways in which New Deal Indian policy specifically advanced commodification and colonization, McLerran reviews its multi-pronged effort to improve the market for Indian art through the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, arts and crafts cooperatives, murals, museum exhibits, and Civilian Conservation Corps projects.

Analisa TaylorPublication Details
BookUniversity of Arizona Press2009Description
Yet, until now, no single book has combined the various elements of this process to provide a comprehensive look at the Indian in Mexico?s cultural imagination.

In addition, she moves beyond her analysis of indigenous peoples in general to take a gendered look at indigenous women ranging from the villainized Malinche to the highly romanticized and sexualized Zapotec women of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
