Review
“Armed with guns, horses, and machines, European settlers relentlessly mowed down, pushed aside, and in some cases enslaved peaceful natives they found living in the new worlds they were overrunning. Reaching back to antiquity, they resurrected myths about one-eyed giants and other monsters to rationalize the harsh treatment they were visiting on Indians and Mexicans. Later, they would deploy very similar rhetorical strategies to justify extermination and enslavement in other parts of the world. The suspicion grows that Western agents are the savages and the peace-loving natives the superior race. Savage Anxieties explains how, like bad money driving out good, a savage society will win every time.†―Richard Delgado, professor, Seattle University School of Law and author of Critical Race Theory

Robert Williams is a major scholar, and this book will only enhance is already considerable reputation. This is one of those grand histories of European thought that begins with the ancient Greek invention of the idea of the savage, following the development of this concept right down to the present, where it is still being used "to justify violations of the most basic human rights". His analytical and carefully reasoned account is essential to understanding the modern perpetuation of stereotypes, especially in the Native American context.
A clearly written summary (~250 pgs) of how ideas regarding the simple, uncivilized, lawless, propertyless, pure, uncorrupted, erotic and exotic savage, perceived as outside of, and threatening to, western civilization, has influenced how europeans and their settlers justified and understood expansion against, and suppression of, the 'savages' from ancient Athens to modern America, Australia and Canada.
"Savage Anxieties" is an excellent help to understand the development of the Ancient Greek View about the Savages and the embracement of such a view by later cultures and societies. Highly Recommended to understand the origin and some of the developments about the idea of one's own superior society and/or culture and potential the discrimination and/or rejection of someone's else culture and/or society.
The author uses his clear erudition to force the reader to to face the hard question of one's baked in prejudices that are used by "special interests" to enrich themselves at the expense of the powerless. A more broadly applicable question in this country than just Indian rights. The book reads a bit like a legal brief but the author's deep knowledge of the history and his revealing the clay feet of our leading lights in our part of this history make it worth reading.
Williams made many interesting facts/data and hypos concerning the Native Americans (the 1st Americans, by the way) in this country. His book does open one's eyes assuming they're closed to all humanity but one sect.
Book was for someone else. But I read it when available. I heard the author speak with Bill Moyers and knew the book was worthwhile. I know for sure that some U.S. laws based on Colonial legal decisions are depriving Native Americans of lands to which only they have a right. Some are Papal Statements which are underpinnings for U. S. laws which are still on the books.
Gave it as a gift to my husband who is a Prof. of Anthropology and he loves it. Thank you
An excellent resource book when studying Indigenous peoples.
