Leslie Marmon Silko's 1991 novel Almanac of the Dead is a profound
and challenging analysis of late capitalist society in America and
more widely, and the ways in which powerful minority elites ensure
that their power is never challenged nor shared, through the
complicit discourses of imperialism, patriarchy, religion,
medicine, science and technology. Almanac's exploration of multiple
forms of dispossession and resistance is most fully embodied in the
two Armies of Justice, who are devoted to overturning oppression in
all forms and to the restoration of social and economic justice.
Reading Almanac in the light of the global economic recession of
2008, this study assesses the ways in which Almanac's vision of
oppressive capitalism continues to have absolute relevance. Perhaps
most importantly, this study provides a groundbreaking reading of
Almanac for the 21st century, comparing Silko's activist armies
with recent international popular social justice activism such as
the Arab Spring, the international Occupy movement, and the
Indigenous Idle No More movement.
