Often manifested in romanticized representations of the past, Indianthusiasm has developed into a veritable industry in Germany and other European nations: there are Western and so-called \"\"Indian\"\" theme parks and a German hobbyist scene that attract people of all social backgrounds and ages to join camps and clubs that practise beading, powwow dancing, and Indigenous lifestyles.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContaining interviews with twelve Indigenous authors, artists, and scholars who comment on the German fascination with North American Indigenous Peoples, \u003ci\u003eIndianthusiasm\u003c\/i\u003e is the first collection to present Indigenous critiques and assessments of this phenomenon.
