Description   by Pamela B. Nelson (ed); Gail F. Stern (ed); M. Mark Stolarik (pf). Ethnic stereotyping is as pervasive in toys & games as it has been in advertising & in the comics. It has given us a distorted image of our world & has made it that much more difficult to respect our cultural differences. This important exhibit forces us to confront the prejudices that we picked up as children &, hopefully, to rid ourselves of them & not pass them on to our own children. Contents of this exhibition catalogue: Introduction; Toys as History: Ethnic Images & Cultural Change; Psychological Aspects of Ethnic Doll Play; From Hostility to Reverence: 100 Years of African-Imagery in Games; Headdresses, Drums, & Bows & Arrows: Indian Imagery in Children's Toys; & Selected Bibliography. Illustrations.
