HUNTINGTON, Ellsworth
The Red Man's Continent
New Haven, Yale, 1919. A young person's history of America, thoroughly racist throughout, both in its assumptions and its explicit statements -- with derogatory statements about Indians (and blacks, for that matter) on virtually every page. Its publication by an august, scholarly press is a graphic reminder of the degree to which ehtnocentric assumptions and attitudes were unquestioned, and were in fact accorded the highest respect, in the not-so-distant past. Very good, without dust jacket.
