Some of the fore-most transatlantic scholars of Native studies in North America and Europe share their insights on this highly charged aspect of the contemporary theoretical field of Native studies. The issue of "authenticity" of "Indian-ness" generates a controversial debate in studies of indigenous American literatures. The articulation of Native identity through the prism of Euro-American attempts to confine "Indian" groups to essentialized spaces is resisted by some Native writers, while others recognize a need for essentialist categories as a key strategy in the struggle for social justice and perpetually renewed sense of Native sovereignty. Pressure from neocolonial essentializing practices is in conflict with a politics of cultural sovereignty, which demands a notion of "Indian" essence or "authenticity" as a foundation for community values, heritage, and social justice.". 000437292 5208_ $$a"Contributors participate in a scholarly and pedagogical search for an intellectual paradigm for Native literary studies that is apart from, yet cognizant with, powerful colonial legacies. The complex politics of Polynesian authenticity versus Native indigeneity is engaged by Native Hawaiian writers as they negotiate conflicting demands upon personal and tribal identities. Related to this questioning is the authenticity debate in Canadian First Nation writing, where the claim to authenticity rests upon a claim to historical precedence, also related is the highly contentious claim by some Chicano/a writers to an indigenous heritage as a claim to authority and "American" authenticity. Essays in this volume are focused upon the diverse an sophisticated responses of Native writers and scholars, while offering comparative perspectives on Native Hawaiian, Chicano, and Canadian literatures."--BOOK JACKET. 000437292 650_0 $$aAmerican literature$$xIndian authors$$xHistory and criticism. 000437292 650_0 $$aIndians in literature. 000437292 650_0 $$aIndians of North America$$xEthnic identity. 000437292 650_0 $$aAuthenticity (Philosophy) in literature. 000437292 7001_ $$aMadsen, Deborah L. 000437292 85200 $$bgen$$hPS153.I52$$iN35$$i2010 000437292 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:437292$$pGLOBAL_SET 000437292 980__ $$aBIB 000437292 980__ $$aBOOK
