Carson (English, Bridgewater State College) presents eight essays exploring literary works by and about Native Americans from across American history. The essays address such themes as cross-cultural protest, resistance to dominant white ideology, the importance to natives of land and land redress, literary and national sovereignty, cultural separatism, and cultural healing in an effort to understand the relationship between ideological representations of Native Americans and the consequences those representations have for their daily lives.
