In explaining white America to Itself, the book is an unqualified success."-- American Indian Quarterly "An unusual and unfailingly interesting examination of a clash of cultures."-- Sports Illustrated "Readers of this very important, highly readable book will have a new understanding of the insidiousness of racism and the ease with which mass marketing can create new mythology. Highly recommended."-- Library Journal "A thorough treatise on a controversial topic."-- Booklist "Spindel writes convincingly about how her research has helped her to understand attitudes toward American Indians. . . . Many fans of professional sports would benefit by reading this book."-- Publishers Weekly "Although a great deal has been written about the controversy of using fake Indians to get fans pumped up at football games, it took an entire book to give full vent to the subject. Carol Spindel does this admirably and evenhandedly."-- Chicago Tribune "An important resource in the ongoing controversy over Indian mascots across America."-- Religious Studies Review "Spindel displays considerable courage in tackling a controversial subject.

Synopsis
A persuasive and compassionate analysis of the appropriation of Native American culture in sports Sports fans love to don paint and feathers to cheer on the Washington Redskins and the Cleveland Indians, the Atlanta Braves, the Florida State Seminoles, and the Warriors and Chiefs of their hometown high schools. But outside the stadiums, American Indians aren't cheering--they're yelling racism. School boards and colleges are bombarded with emotional demands from both sides, while professional teams find themselves in court defending the right to trademark their Indian names and logos. In the face of opposition by a national anti-mascot movement, why are fans so determined to retain the fictional chiefs who plant flaming spears and dance on the fifty-yard line? To answer this question, Dancing at Halftime takes the reader on a journey through the American imagination where our thinking about American Indians has been, and is still being, shaped. Dancing at Halftime is the story of Carol Spindel's determination to understand why her adopted town is so passionately attached to Chief Illiniwek, the American Indian mascot of the University of Illinois. She rummages through our national attic, holding dusty souvenirs from world's fairs and wild west shows, Edward Curtis photographs, Boy Scout handbooks, and faded football programs up to the light. Outside stadiums, while American Indian Movement protestors burn effigies, she listens to both activists and the fans who resent their attacks. Inside hearing rooms and high schools, she poses questions to linguists, lawyers, and university alumni. A work of both persuasion and compassion, Dancing at Halftime reminds us that in America, where Pontiac is a car and Tecumseh a summer camp, Indians are often our symbolic servants, functioning as mascots and metaphors that express our longings to become "native" Americans, and to feel at home in our own land., A Poignant Exploration Of An Explosive Subject Sports fans love to don paint and feathers to cheer on teams with names like the Washington Redskins, but outside the stadiums American Indians aren't cheering--they're yelling "racism."
