Domestic Subjects : Gender, Citizenship, and Law in Native American Literature, Paperback / softback Book

Domestic Subjects : Gender, Citizenship, and Law in Native American Literature Paperback / softback

Part of the The Henry Roe Cloud Series on American Indians and Modernity series

Paperback / softback

Description

Amid the decline of U.S. military campaigns against Native Americans in the late nineteenth century, assimilation policy arose as the new front in the Indian Wars, with its weapons the deployment of culture and law, and its locus the American Indian home and family.

In this groundbreaking interdisciplinary work, Piatote tracks the double movement of literature and law in the contest over the aims of settler-national domestication and the defense of tribal-national culture, political rights, and territory.
