Omschrijving
By drawing out the connections between actual captivity, captivity narratives, and the memorializing of white captives, Molly Varley shows how Indian captivity became a means for Progressive Era Americans to look forward by looking back.
“Americans Recaptured makes important connections among actual captivity, captivity narratives, and monuments memorializing and celebrating white captives during the Progressive Era. While the topic of captivity has attracted a great deal of attention in the past several decades, no book competes with this one in terms of period or emphasis. Molly K. Varley weaves together history, literature, and material culture to analyze the uses of captivity in innovative and illuminating ways.”—Kathryn Zabelle Derounian-Stodola, author of War in Words: Reading the Dakota Conflict through the Captivity Literature, and editor of Women’s Indian Captivity Narratives
Molly K. Varley teaches history at Warren Wilson College.
