{"product_id":"indian-nation-cheryl-walker-9780822319443","title":"Indian Nation: Native American Literature and Nineteenth-Century Nationalisms","description":"\u003ci\u003eIndian Nation\u003c\/i\u003e documents the contributions of Native Americans to the notion of American nationhood and to concepts of American identity at a crucial, defining time in U.S. history. Departing from previous scholarship, Cheryl Walker turns the \"usual\" questions on their heads, asking not how whites experienced indigenous peoples, but how Native Americans envisioned the United States as a nation. This project unfolds a narrative of participatory resistance in which Indians themselves sought to transform the discourse of nationhood.\u003cbr\u003eWalker examines the rhetoric and writings of nineteenth-century Native Americans, including William Apess, Black Hawk, George Copway, John Rollin Ridge, and Sarah Winnemucca. Demonstrating with unique detail how these authors worked to transform venerable myths and icons of American identity, \u003ci\u003eIndian Nation\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles Native American participation in the forming of an American nationalism in both published texts and speeches that were delivered throughout the United States. Pottawattomie Chief Simon Pokagon's \"The Red Man's Rebuke,\" an important document of Indian oratory, is published here in its entirety for the first time since 1893.\u003cbr\u003eBy looking at this writing through the lens of the best theoretical work on nationality, postcoloniality, and the subaltern, Walker creates a new and encompassing picture of the relationship between Native Americans and whites. She shows that, contrary to previous studies, America in the nineteenth century was intercultural in significant ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cheryl Walker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0822319446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780822319443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.06w x 0.92d","brand":"Cheryl Walker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44169677930751,"sku":"9780822319443","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_484331f4-2408-4bce-8b54-65dc1f4ba40b.jpg?v=1689654292","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/indian-nation-cheryl-walker-9780822319443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
