{"product_id":"through-an-indians-looking-glass-drew-lopenzina-9781625342591","title":"Through an Indian's Looking-Glass: A Cultural Biography of William Apess, Pequot","description":"The life of William Apess (1798-1839), a Pequot Indian, Methodist preacher, and widely celebrated writer, provides a lens through which to comprehend the complex dynamics of indigenous survival and resistance in the era of America's early nationhood. Apess's life intersects with multiple aspects of indigenous identity and existence in this period, including indentured servitude, slavery, service in the armed forces, syncretic engagements with Christian spirituality, and Native struggles for political and cultural autonomy. Even more, Apess offers a powerful and provocative voice for the persistence of Native presence in a time and place that was long supposed to have settled its \"Indian question\" in favor of extinction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough meticulous archival research, close readings of Apess's key works, and informed and imaginative speculation about his largely enigmatic life, Drew Lopenzina provides a vivid portrait of this singular Native American figure. This new biography will sit alongside Apess's own writing as vital reading for those interested in early America and indigeneity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Drew Lopenzina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1625342594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625342591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Massachusetts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2017","brand":"Drew Lopenzina","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44044616139007,"sku":"9781625342591","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_54e25bdb-01cd-446c-9a28-b23acb545191.jpg?v=1684973874","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/through-an-indians-looking-glass-drew-lopenzina-9781625342591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
