“…Rosemarie K. Bank notes the incompatible collisions emitted in and external to the status quo often overflow into unexpected disorder. 187 The mixed-use space let visitors crop their own vantage points near or far, close up or from a distance, from above or below. The convulsing dynamics of the grounds may have marketed a retail traffic of choice but spectatorship entertained its own design.…”

“…I realize that the World's Fair of 1893 is well-trod terrain, and several scholars have explored the agency and the production of images of these performers within these so-called native habitations. No one, however, has explicitly compared the work these images did when sandwiched between the production of menial images of Negroes and the opulence of the White City (Moses 1991(Moses , 1999Rydell 1984;Ellis 2003:55-99; Parezo and Troutman 2001:3-43;Bank 2002). My view of production and consumption here is influenced by Curtis Hinsley, who offers a compelling argument that "at Chicago in 1893, public curiosity about other peoples, mediated by the terms of the market place, produced an early form of touristic consumption" (1991:363).…”

My mother loves to recount the story of how, as a three year old, I used this innocent, mispronounced question to interrogate the garbagemen as I furiously raced my Big Wheel up and down the driveway of our rather large house on Park Avenue, a beautiful tree-lined street in an all-white neighborhood in Yakima, Washington. It was 1969. The Vietnam War was raging in Southeast Asia, and the brutal murders of Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., Medgar Evers, and Bobby and John F. Kennedy hung like a pall over a nation coming to grips with new formulations, relations, and understandings of race, culture, and power. As members of the Red Power movement occupied Alcatraz and took up armed resistance in South Dakota, members of the Black Power movement occupied San Francisco State University, demanding that black studies be incorporated into the curriculum. Yet even militant leaders could do little to abate the flood of socalled race riots that decimated black communities from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., and no one could bring back the college students shot dead at Kent State and Jackson State.My father was a pastor of an all-white Lutheran Church, and my mother was an instructor in the still-experimental Head Start program. Busy preaching, teaching, and raising three kids, my parents had little time to be involved in any organized movement. As good white liberals, however, they wanted to contribute something, get involved, and try to make a difference. My parents believed that adopting a child might be one way to make a small but important difference during the turbulent 1960s. Initially, they wanted to adopt an American Indian child from the nearby Yakama Reservation, but, as the story goes, some of my parents' black PREFACExi
