Indian Captivity and Slave Narratives: Contrasts and Similarities
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of the predominant viewpoints expressed in Indian Captivity Narrative and the Slave Narratives, two of the most important types of literature produced during the American colonial period. Contends that while both were concerned with the circumstances of captivity and the ever-present temptation of escape and overall issues of race, these two narrative forms differed in the type of propaganda which they delivered (Been, 2000). Indian captivity narratives, in effect, supported the U.S. government and the mainstream white culture. Slave narratives, on the other hand, were critical of that culture and government. Indian captivity narratives saved their criticism for the Native American peoples who held whites captive. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Interaction Between European American And Native American Cultures
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Given the proper circumstances, traditional Native American cultures could never have co-existed alongside European American cultures, inasmuch as neither one even remotely upheld the same attributes. The Native Americans lived their lives in accordance to a higher influence supported by their affinity with the land and its animals; theirs was a cultural existence built upon harmony and compassion. European colonists, by stark contrast, barreled through indigenous country with a 'slash and burn' mentality: To wipe clean any remnant of cultural presence that did not abide by their own myopic – and highly destructive – point of view. As such, there could never have been such a thing as 'proper circumstances' where the cultural rift between European colonists and Native Americans were concerned, illustrating how historical accounts of Puritan settlement were both accurate and inevitable. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Invisible Cultures
[ send me this paper ]
Existence, like culture, is constructed from the experiences of the individual and is shaped by the physical, social, and political contexts of life as experienced by the group. This 5 page paper argues that Ralph Ellison in The Invisible Man, W. E. B. Du Bois in Spiritual Strivings, Leslie Marmon Silko in Ceremony and Amiri Baraka in Blues People each see the theme of invisibility from a cultural conflict based on subjugation, assimilation, appropriation, extermination and, or, dispossession. No additional sources are listed.
