How do we explain the
persistent preoccupation with American Indians in Germany and the staggering
numbers of Germans one encounters as visitors to Indian country? As H. Glenn
Penny demonstrates, that preoccupation is rooted in an affinity for American
Indians that has permeated German cultures for two centuries. This affinity
stems directly from German polycentrism, notions of tribalism, a devotion to
resistance, a longing for freedom, and a melancholy sense of shared fate.
Locating the origins of the fascination for Indian life in the transatlantic
world of German cultures in the nineteenth century, Penny explores German
settler colonialism in the American Midwest, the rise and fall of German
America, and the transnational worlds of American Indian performers. As he
traces this phenomenon through the twentieth century, Penny engages debates
about race, masculinity, comparative genocides, and American Indians' reactions
to Germans' interests in them. He also assesses what persists of the affinity
across the political ruptures of modern German history and challenges readers to
rethink how cultural history is made.
