A huge popular and critical success when it was first published in 1884, \u003cem\u003eRamona \u003c\/em\u003eis set among the California Spanish missions and tells the story of the young mixed-blood heroine, Ramona, and her Native American lover Alessandro, as they flee from the brutal violence of white settlers.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nThis Broadview edition re-examines the novel’s legacy by placing it alongside public speeches, letters, and newspaper articles that promoted what was ultimately a damaging campaign by reformers to “assimilate” Native American peoples. Selections from Jackson’s non-fiction writings call into question the link between assimilationist policies and the story told in \u003cem\u003eRamona\u003c\/em\u003e; also included are the writings and testimonies of some of Jackson’s Native American contemporaries, as well as a selection of travel essays and images that helped to create “the Ramona myth.”\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadview Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66233444860253,"sku":null,"price":25.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/3893\/2573\/files\/9781551117201.jpg?v=1792204027","url":"https:\/\/shop.gazellebookservices.co.uk\/products\/ramona","provider":"Gazelle Book Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
