Abstract (en)

Study of the painted and sculptural decorations of the Capitol (Washington, DC), interpreted as an ideological tool for the promotion of American expansionist policies and the displacement of Native Americans from the land; the reviewer finds it a wide-ranging and subtly argued investigation of the political significance and impact of the art of the Capitol.
