The citizenship of dance : politics of music in the reservation environment -- The "dance evil" : cultural performance, the press, and federal Indian policy -- The sounds of "civilization" : music and the assimilation campaign in federal Indian boarding schools -- Learning the music of Indianness -- Hitting the road : professional native musicians in the early twentieth century -- Epilogue.

Sammanfattning: Troutman examines the politics of music by American indians on reservations, in the boarding schools, and in public theaters and other music venues. He argues that music served American Indians and non-Indians alike as a unique means to negotiate, challenge, or fortify the lines of citizenship, Indianness, and whiteness prevalent in U.S. culture and politics in this era.
