Descrizione Bsumek, E: Indian-Made
Examining varied sites of production Bsumek shows how the market economy perpetuated Navajo stereotypes and cultural assumptions. She takes readers into the hogans where men worked silver and women wove rugs and into the outlets where middlemen dictated what buyers wanted and where Navajos influenced inventory. Exploring this process over seven decades, she describes how artisans' increasing use of modern tools created controversy about authenticity and how the meaning of the 'Indian made' label was even challenged in court.
