"Colonial Me"

There's a good chance that Maureen's SNL skit was prompted by someone recalling the controversy (not covered by Handler and Gable) that erupted when CW decided to reenact a slave auction. It also recalls this 2005 ad campaign on "The Colonial Me."

On another note, you may recall that Handler and Gable cite an article by a CW official responding to an earlier article form of one of their chapters. That article is "Lost in the Fun House: A Commentary on Anthropologists' First Contact with History Museums," Journal of American History (June 1994): 137-150.
