描述
A consortium of German developers shows up on the fictional Otter Lake Reserve with a seemingly irresistible offer to improve the local economy the creation of Ojibway World a Native theme park designed to attract European tourists causing hilarious personal and political divisions within the local community.The Berlin Blues concludes Drew Hayden Taylors Blues quartet showcasing contemporary stereotypes of First Nations people including a fair number that originate from Indigenous communities themselves to the often outraged delight of his international audiences.Yet Europeans and other ethnic groups are not exempt from Taylors incisive but goodhumoured caricatures. Central to the motivation of these German developers are the hugely successful and bestselling adventure novels of the German author Karl May whose work Adolf Hitler recommended as good wholesome reading for all ages. Written in the early twentieth century they popularized Rousseaus image of Indigenous peoples as Noble Savages among European and especially German youth and have led to the creation of Karl May theme parks all over central Europe where adult tourists can shed their inhibitions and play Cowboys and Indians with a seriousness as ridiculous as it is abandoned.
