Portraits of 'the Whiteman': Linguistic Play and Cultural Symbols among the Western Apache
Keith H. Basso
'The Whiteman' is one of the most powerful and pervasive symbols in contemporary American Indian cultures. This book investigates a complex form of joking in which Apaches stage carefully crafted imitations of Anglo-Americans and, by means of these characterizations, give substance to their conceptions of this most pressing of social 'problems'.
