Kerry Driscoll, Ph.D. will discuss her forthcoming book from the University of California Press, Mark Twain Among the Indians, which examines the author's attitudes toward, and often conflicting representations of, Native Americans in his work.  Her book charts the evolution of Twain's views about Indians over the course of a literary career spanning nearly half a century, focusing on both the personal and cultural origins of this prejudice and the ways in which it gradually diminished over time.
