Summary:
Over the course of the last twenty years, Native
American
and
Indigenous
American
literary studies has experienced a dramatic shift from a critical focus on identity and authenticity to the intellectual, cultural, political, historical, and tribal nation contexts from which these
Indigenous
literatures emerge. This book reflects on these changes and provides an overview of the current state of the field. The forty-three essays, organized into four sections, cover oral traditions, poetry, drama, non-fiction, fiction, and other forms of
Indigenous
American
writing from the seventeenth through the twenty-first century. Part I attends to literary histories across a range of communities, providing, for example, analyses of Inuit, Chicana/o, Anishinaabe, and Métis literary practices. Part II draws on earlier disciplinary and historical contexts to focus on specific genres, as authors discuss
Indigenous
non-fiction, emergent trans-Indigenous autobiography, Mexicanoh and Spanish poetry, Native drama in the U.S. and Canada, and even a new
Indigenous
children's
literature
canon. The third section delves into contemporary modes of critical inquiry to expound on politics of place, comparative Indigenism, trans-Indigenism, Native rhetoric, and the power of
Indigenous
writing to communities of readers. A final section thoroughly explores the geographical breadth and expanded definition of
Indigenous
American
through detailed accounts of
literature
from Indian Territory, the Red Atlantic, the far North, Yucatán, Amerika Samoa, and Francophone Quebec. This volume is a comprehensive and expansive critical handbook of
Indigenous
American
literatures. It addresses the diverse range of texts, secondary archives, writing traditions, literary histories, geographic and political contexts, and critical discourses in the field.
