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 Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on December 11, 2023) Subject American literature -- Indian authors -- History and criticism Indians of North America -- Government relations.
