Abstract

A popular misconception, even among many intellectuals, is that Americans have no deep history or any particular culture. It is thought that Americans are a “young country” with no historical or cultural baggage. A consequence of this is that American thought may sometimes present itself as culturally neutral, without a Eurocentric or America-centric bias. Hence it is seen as being free from the historical and cultural contexts with which other nations’ thinking gets interpreted. The American voice has thus seemed more universal than others because of this perceived freedom from past contexts.KeywordsIndian TribeNative TribeNative ReligionBlack ScholarDeep CultureThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
