Mark Rifkin

When Did Indians Become Straight? (eBook, PDF)

Kinship, the History of Sexuality, and Native Sovereignty

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

When Did Indians Become Straight? explores the complex relationship between contested U.S. notions of normality and shifting forms of Native American governance and self-representation. Examining a wide range of texts (including captivity narratives, fiction, government documents, and anthropological tracts), Mark Rifkin offers a cultural and literary history of the ways Native peoples have been inserted into Euramerican discourses of sexuality and how Native intellectuals have sought to reaffirm their peoples' sovereignty and self-determination.
