'The Whiteman' is one of the most powerful and pervasive symbols in contemporary American Indian cultures. This book investigates a complex form of joking in which Apaches stage carefully crafted imitations of Anglo-Americans and, by means of these characterizations, give substance to their conceptions of this most pressing of social 'problems'.
