Soci 220 2009-10 Week 10 — Two approaches to racism I. Dunk: cultural symbols a. “The ‘Indian’ is employed as a symbol through which the Boys establish their own moral worth and their difference from the perceived dominant power bloc. They ‘imagine’ their own community in opposition to others, and racial and ethnic characteristics provide easily discernible markers upon which such divisions can be constituted.” (Dunk, 102) b. “The Indian is perceived as an inferior other against whom white define themselves.
