These images have been repeated, layer upon layer, in political, historical, and commercial contexts, resulting in blurred perceptions of Native American peoples. Powerful Images: Portrayals of Native America looks at the ways in which Indians have been portrayed by themselves and others from the early 1800s to the present. Paintings, sculptures, traditional native arts, and popular culture objects - neon signs, toys, automobiles, cigar boxes - are used to both reveal and challenge popular assumptions about native North Americans." - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: Powerful images: art of the Plains and Southwest, by Emma I.

Synopsis: This is a celebration of the 20th anniversary of Farm Aid that commemorates the struggles and contributions of family farmers in America and the more than three hundred artists that have performed on the Farm Aid stage.

Unfortunately, the nation is losing farmers all the time, but the annual Farm Aid benefit concert has helped slow this down through the years by contributing more than $26 million. This book features the voices of Willie Nelson, Neil Young, John Mellencamp, and Dave Matthews, an introduction by Eric Schlosser, and black-and-white concert photography by Paul Natkin and Ebet Roberts.
