During centuries of contact between native peoples and others in America, countless intermediaries-artists, students, traders, interpreters, political figures, authors, even performers-have bridged the divide. \u003cem\u003eBetween Indian and White Worlds: The Cultural Broker\u003c\/em\u003e provides a new understanding of the role of these mediation in North America from 1690 to the present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCultural brokers have shared certain qualities-in particular a thorough understanding of two of more cultures. Living on the edge of change and conflict, they have responded to evolving and unstable circumstances or alliances with a flexibility born of their determination to bring understanding to disparate peoples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo composite portrait can encompass the complexity of the brokerage experience. To convey the many roles of these intermediaries, editor Margaret Connell Szasz has brought together fourteen distinct portraits, crafted by prominent scholars of Indian-white relations, of brokers across the continent and throughout three centuries of American history-in the colonial world, during the expansion of the republic, in the Wild West, and in the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis fascinating and inspiring collection speaks eloquently of life on the cultural frontier. Key figures in our pluralistic heritage, cultural brokers are no less\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret C.
