Description
"Eric Cheyfitz mounts a pointed historical critique of colonialism through careful analysis of the dialogue between Native American literatures and federal Indian law. Illuminating how these literatures indict colonial practices, he argues that if the decolonization of Indian country is to be achieved, then federal Indian law must be replaced with independent Native nation sovereignty-because subordinate sovereignty, the historical regime, is not sovereignty at all"--,Provided by publisher.
