More about the book
Focusing on the interplay between Native American literatures and federal Indian law, this work critiques colonialism and advocates for the complete decolonization of Indian country. Cheyfitz argues that true sovereignty for Native nations requires dismantling subordinate sovereignty upheld by federal law. Through intersectional readings of notable authors, he highlights how Native literatures respond to legal impacts on Indigenous life and emphasizes the importance of understanding these texts in the context of colonial resistance and the historical assault on Indigenous peoples.
