Summary:"Winnifred Eaton and the Politics of Miscegenation in Popular Fiction" by Pat Shea argues that the popular fictions of Chinese-American writer Winnifred Eaton, published under a Japanese nom de plume, walk a carefully balanced line between "concession and resistance" to both racist and sexist norms of the period, and deserve further attention. Finding Room for Native Americans, African Americans, and Latino Americans in the Revisionist Western," Donald Hoffman evaluates three films that attempt to revise the conventional cinema vision of the West as a white Anglo enterprise from which other ethnic and racial groups either were absent or were negative participants. "Ethnocentric Guilt in Tony Hillerman's Dance Hall of the Dead" by Brewster Fitz presents an argument for viewing Hillerman's popular detective novels as interfaces with another kind of guilt-driven narrative, that of the ethnographer / anthropologist.
