Black Collectibles: Physical Representations of Stereotypes Mass produced in the U.S. and abroad from the 1880's to the late 1950's, images of Black people, almost universally derogatory, were circulated in the form of kitchen implements, cartoons, children's toys and games, advertisements, sheet music, tourist souvenirs and many other items. Used routinely and in some cases, daily, from early youth, Americans grew to accept the cruelly exaggerated, servile roles portrayed in these objects. Relevant for teaching anthropology, sociology, American studies, and American history. By Dr. Kenneth W.Goings. 80 slides -- $86 -- Available on CD-Rom View thumbnails of all the images in this set. |

Indian Images in Commerce Images of imaginary Indians have been used in American and European media for years. The various guises of Indians reflect various themes in American life--Respectable (or Rousseau) Indian, the Laughable Indian, the Threatening Indian, the Benevolent (or Thanksgiving) Indian, and the Enigmatic Indian. This set illustrates some American views of ethnic minorities; as such it has relevance not only for anthropology, but also for marketing, American history, and American Studies. By Gregory A. Reinhardt. 83 slides -- $86 -- Available on CD-Rom View thumbnails of all the images in this set. |
