In recent years, the interdisciplinary fields of Native North
American and Indigenous Studies have reflected, at times even
foreshadowed and initiated, many of the influential theoretical
discussions in the humanities after the "transnational turn."
Global trends of identity politics, performativity, cultural
performance and ethics, comparative and revisionist historiography,
ecological responsibility and education, as well as issues of
social justice have shaped and been shaped by discussions in Native
American and Indigenous Studies. This volume brings together
distinguished perspectives on these topics by the Native scholars
and writers Gerald Vizenor (Anishinaabe), Diane Glancy (Cherokee),
and Tomson Highway (Cree), as well as non-Native authorities, such
as Chadwick Allen, Hartmut Lutz, and Helmbrecht Breinig.
Contributions look at various moments in the cultural history of
Native North America-from earthmounds via the Catholic
appropriation of a Mohawk saint to the debates about Makah whaling
rights-as well as at a diverse spectrum of literary, performative,
and visual works of art by John Ross, John Ridge, Elias Boudinot,
Emily Pauline Johnson, Leslie Marmon Silko, Emma Lee Warrior,
Louise Erdrich, N. Scott Momaday, Stephen Graham Jones, and Gerald
Vizenor, among others. In doing so, the selected contributions
identify new and recurrent methodological challenges, outline
future paths for scholarly inquiry, and explore the intersections
between Indigenous Studies and contemporary Literary and Cultural
Studies at large.
