Native American literature has always been uniquely embattled. It
is marked by divergent opinions about what constitutes
authenticity, sovereignty, and even literature. It announces a
culture beset by paradox: simultaneously primordial and postmodern;
oral and inscribed; outmoded and novel. Its texts are a site of
political struggle, shifting to meet external and internal
expectations. This Cambridge History endeavors to capture and
question the contested character of Indigenous texts and the way
they are evaluated. It delineates significant periods of literary
and cultural development in four sections: "Traces & Removals"
(pre-1870s); "Assimilation and Modernity" (1879-1967); "Native
American Renaissance" (post-1960s); and "Visions & Revisions"
(21st century). These rubrics highlight how Native literatures have
evolved alongside major transitions in federal policy toward the
Indian, and via contact with broader cultural phenomena such, as
the American Civil Rights movement. There is a balance between a
history of canonical authors and traditions, introducing
less-studied works and themes, and foregrounding critical
discussions, approaches, and controversies.
