Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Reimagining Indians investigates an important group of Anglo-American writers whose books about Native Americans helped reshape Americans' understanding and appreciation of Indian peoples at the turn of the twentieth century. As they celebrated Indian cultures, they cast doubt on their supposed superiority of their own and encouraged broader acceptance of cultural relativism, pluralism, and tolerance in American thought, as well as making Native American cultural practices more accessible to Anglo-Americans.
MoreLong description:
Reimagining Indians investigates a group of Anglo-American writers whose books about Native Americans helped reshape Americans' understanding of Indian peoples at the turn of the twentieth century. Hailing from the Eastern United States, these men and women travelled to the American West and discovered "exotics" in their midst. Drawn to Indian cultures as alternatives to what they found distasteful about modern American culture, these writers produced a body of work that celebrates Indian cultures, religions, artistry, and simple humanity.
Although these writers were not academically trained ethnographists, their books represent popular versions of ethnography. In revealing their own doubts about the superiority of European-American culture, they sought to provide a favourable climate for Indian cultural survival in a world indisputably dominated by non-Indians. They also encouraged notions of cultural relativism, pluralism, and tolerance in American thought. For the historian and general reader alike, this volume speaks to broad themes of American cultural history, Native American history, and the history of the American West.
A valuable text for higher level undergraduate and postgraduate courses.
