  • Anglo Saxon Club Analysis

    748 Words  | 3 Pages

    Although the early efforts of the Anglo-Saxon Clubs focused on managing the threat posed by “near-white” mulattoes, Plecker and his associates soon turned their attention to the state’s native population. Spurred by the belief that “there [were] no native-born Virginians unmixed with Negro blood,” Plecker spearheaded a new phase of the ASCOA’s racial integrity campaign, which now aimed at policing the “Negroid-Indians” they feared were using the “Indian” label as a way-station to whiteness. Virginia’s Indian population provided a readily identifiable population toward which Powell and his associates could spew their vitriol. The ASCOA framed the hardships that befell these communities as proof of the biological dangers of racial mixing, thereby justifying the racial integrity legislation. Ironically, attempts to bring these communities in line with the Clubs’ ideals of racial purity served to highlight the various

    Alienating and Suppressing the Wild Thomas King’s A Short History of Indians in Canada introduces the effects of colonialism and bias established on indigenous peoples’ reputation through satire.

Through moments of humour, King makes references to racial profiling, stereotypes and mistreatment as historically true. Thomas King utilizes industrialization versus the natural world to incorporate the effects of colonialism and how representing indigenous people as birds made them the spectacle of the civilized world. The colonizer dominance and power imbalance is evident and demonstrated often in the short story through

  • Analysis: Coming Of Age In The Dawnland

    975 Words  | 4 Pages

    Science journalist, Charles C. Mann, had successfully achieved his argumentative purpose about the “Coming of Age in the Dawnland.” Mann’s overall purpose of writing this argumentative was to show readers that there’s more to than just being called or being stereotyped as a savage- a cynical being. These beings are stereotyped into being called Indians, or Native Americans (as they are shorthand names), but they would rather be identified by their own tribe name. Charles Mann had talked about only one person in general but others as well without naming them. Mann had talked about an Indian named Tisquantum, but he, himself, does not want to be recognized as one; to be more recognized as the “first and foremost as a citizen of Patuxet,”(Mann 24).

The most shocking instance of this happened when Winnemucca encountered a group of soldier who told her the white settlers accused the natives of stealing cattle, “the soldiers rode up to their [meaning the Piute’s] encampment and fired into it, and killed almost all the people that were there… after the soldiers had killed but all bur some little children and babies… the soldiers took them too… and set the camp on fire and threw them into the flames to see them burned alive”(78). This is an abhorrent act that is unthinkable in a functioning society. The natives had done nothing but want to hold some shred of land from the settlers who had taken everything from them and are exterminated like vermin. This was something that stayed hidden from many white settlers because of its barbarism and by exposing it Winnemucca truly educates the reader, past and present, on how natives are
