This book will introduce Indigenous perspectives and traditions as articulated by Indigenous authors whose voices have been a vital, if often overlooked, component of the American dialogue for more than 400 years. Paramount to this consideration of Native-centered reading is the understanding that literature was not something bestowed upon Native peoples by the settler culture, either through benevolent interventions or violent programs of forced assimilation. Native literature precedes colonization, and Native stories and traditions have their roots in both the precolonized and the decolonizing worlds. As this far-reaching survey of Native literary contributions will demonstrate, almost without fail, when Indigenous writers elected to enter into the world of western letters, they did so with the intention of maintaining Indigenous culture and community. Writing was and always remains a strategy for survival--Back cover. 545 0 $a Drew Lopenzina is Associate Professor at Old Dominion University and teaches in the intersections of Early American and Native American literatures. His 2017 book, Through an Indian's Looking Glass (University of Massachusetts Press), is a cultural biography of nineteenth-century Pequot activist and minister William Apess. Lopenzina is also the author of Red Ink: Native Americans Picking up the Pen in the Colonial Period (SUNY Press 2012). The journal American Studies has called Red Ink "an impressively thorough and often compelling study" that "extends the bounds and enriches our understanding of Native American Literary history." Lopenzina's essays appear in the journals Early American Literature, Native American and Indigenous Studies, American Literature, American Quarterly, Studies in American Indian Literature, American Indian Quarterly, and others--Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction to the introduction: entering Native space -- Oral encounters: moving the forest and rocks by song -- "Still the same unbelieving Indian": Native voices in the emerging republic -- Red progressives and Indian "pass-words" -- Sunset, sunrise: the American Indian novel and the dawning of the Native American literary renaissance -- "Many of our songs are maps": poetry in the Native American literary renaissance and beyond -- "Every one of those stars has a story": narrative and nationhood -- Teaching Louise Erdrich's Tracks: a case study -- Conclusion: greetings from Standing Rock. 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Indians in literature. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x History. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Intellectual life. 650 7 $a American literature $x Indian authors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807179 650 7 $a Indians in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969419 650 7 $a Indians of North America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969633 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969798 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Routledge introductions to American literature. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117032348.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1DDA5F5478F711ECAF30597D2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
