Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Angel De Cora was an early twentieth century artist, a painters,
furniture, jewelry and fabric designer and illustrator. She was also
a Winnebago Indian, born in Nebraska and educated in the infamous
Indian Schools in which the pupils were forced to assimilate into
White language and culture. She taught art at the Carlisle School,
illustrated several books and magazines and was highly respected
among artists like Howard Pyle. She both absorbed Western techniques
and retained Native themes and point of view. In this biography,
independent scholar Waggoner recounts the life and work of De Cora.
In doing so she also explores the struggle felt by many Native
Americans to retain their identity in the face of a determined effort
to eradicate it. De Cora is also part of the ongoing trend for female
artists, respected in their lifetime, to be quickly forgotten after
their deaths. This is a well-written and researched book on a topic
that is of interest to art historians, feminists and historians of
the American Indian.
