"Encountering the Sovereign Other proposes a new theoretical framework for understanding Indigenous science fiction, placing Native theorists like Vine Deloria Jr., and Gregory Cajete in conversation with science fiction theorists like Darko Suvin, David Higgins, and Michael Pinsky. Miriam C. Brown Spiers analyzes four novels: William Sanders's The Ballad of Billy Badass and the Rose of Turkestan, Stephen Graham Jones's It Came From Del Rio, D. L. Birchfield's Field of Honor, and Blake M. Hausman's Riding the Trail of Tears. For these writers, science fiction is a useful compass for navigating and surviving the distinct challenges of the twenty-first century"-- Provided by publisher.
