The Decolonizing Poetics of Indigenous Literatures

by Mareike Neuhaus

tagged: native american, native american studies
Description

In The Decolonizing Poetics of Indigenous Literatures, Mareike Neuhaus uncovers residues of ancestral languages found in Indigenous uses of English. She shows how these remainders ground a reading strategy that enables us to approach Indigenous texts as literature, with its own discursive and rhetorical traditions that underpin its cultural and historical contexts.

About the Author
Mareike Neuhaus, author of the acclaimed book "That's Raven Talk," is an independent scholar specializing in North American Indigenous literatures and Canadian literature.
Editorial Review

"Reading this book has reminded me what the best of literary and cultural criticism can and should do: to surprise and delight with insightful commentary and convincing arguments whose implications are, potentially, paradigm-shifting."

— Sophie McCall, author of First Person Plural: Aboriginal Storytelling and the Ethics of Collaborative Authorship
