Implementing many of the most cutting-edge trends in contemporary
indigenous studies, these seventeen original essays tackle
indigenous identity, cultural perseverance, economic development,
and urbanization in a wide array of American Indian and First
Nations populations. The authors present and preserve indigenous
voices and carefully consider native worldviews throughout the
eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, and also address
mainstream policies that influenced Native peoples in various eras
and locales. The essays range from the specific--single peoples
living in well-defined spaces during discrete time periods, to the
expansive--broad comparative and international discussions. Yet the
volume's diversity extends beyond its topical breadth. The
contributors themselves--many of whom are Native Americans or
members of other First Nations--peer through scholarly lenses
polished in Canada, Denmark, Finland, England, Sweden, and the
United States. The ensuing synthesis helps to clarify the modern
complexities of analyzing indigenous pasts."In this innovative
work, scholars from around the world, working in an array of
disciplines, re-examine issues vital to Indigenous North America.
John Wunder and Kurt Kinbacher have done an admirable job of
assembling a collection of writers who span the arc from
established and well respected academics like Peter Iverson and
Susan Miller to new and exciting thinkers like Miia Halme and Sami
Lakomaki. Reconfigurations of Native North America is blazing a new
path and expanding the ways in which we consider Indigenous issues
in the 20th century."--Akim D. Reinhardt, Towson University
