Yet over time, the imposition of an originally "foreign" nationality onto indigenous communities has produced, for some American Indians and Native Canadians, a potent vision of sovereign plurality in the indigenous imagining. Offering close and compelling readings of novels by Sherman Alexie, Jeanette Armstrong, A.A. Carr, Louise Erdrich, Thomas King, Louis Owens, Leslie M. Silko, James Welch, and Gerald Vizenor, Plural Sovereignties and Contemporary Indigenous Literature documents the reinvention of Anglo-European nationality in the interests of sustaining indigenous traditions Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 231-265) and index Notes Print version record Subject American literature -- Indian authors -- History and criticism Identity (Psychology) in literature.
