Carl Waldman Livres
Carl Waldman est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages de référence sur les Amérindiens, explorant en profondeur l'histoire et les cultures des peuples autochtones du continent. Son écriture examine leurs récits complexes et leur place dans des contextes historiques plus larges. Au-delà de ses études ciblées, Waldman a également contribué à des livres sur l'histoire et la culture populaire, en plus de co-écrire des scénarios, démontrant un intérêt polyvalent pour la narration à travers divers genres. Son premier roman policier, Streetscape, marque une nouvelle orientation, tirant probablement parti de son sens aigu du détail et des personnages.

Organized alphabetically by tribe or group, the informative, accessible text summarizes the historical record - such as locations, migrations, contacts with non-Indians, wars - and includes present-day tribal affairs. The book also covers traditional Indian lifeways, including diet, housing, transportation, tools, clothing, art, legends, and rituals, as well as language families. More than 250 beautifully detailed original color illustrations enhance the text, and 11 maps show the various Indian culture areas in addition to tribal locations, providing a helpful frame of reference. Numerous cross-references help the reader master the material, as do organizational lists, an ample glossary, a bibliography, and index.
