Red States examines how the recurrent use of Native American
history in southern cultural and literary texts produces ideas of
""feeling southern"" that have consequences for how present-day
conservative political discourses resonate across the United
States. Assembling a newly constituted archive that includes
theatrical and musical performances, pre-Civil War literatures, and
contemporary novels, Gina Caison argues that notions of Native
American identity in the U.S. South can be understood by tracing
how audiences in the region came to imagine indigeneity through
texts ranging from the nineteenth-century Cherokee Phoenix to the
Mardi Gras Indian narratives of Treme. Policy issues such as Indian
Removal, biracial segregation, land claim, and federal termination
frequently correlate to the audience consumption of such texts, and
therefore the reception histories of this archive can be tied to
shifts in the political claims of--and political possibilities
for--Native people of the U.S. South. This continual appeal to the
political issues of Indian Country ultimately generates what we see
as persistent discourses about southern exceptionality and
counternationalism.
