On the contrary, this book identifies a group of American Indian writers who share an interest in the revolutionary potential of the indigenous peoples of Mexico - and whose work demonstrates a surprisingly assertive literary politics in the era. By contextualising this group of American Indian authors in the work of their contemporaries, this book reveals how the literary history of this period is far more rich and nuanced than is generally acknowledged.Indigenous Americas.American literatureIndian authorsHistory and criticismIndians in literatureMexicoIn literatureElectronic books.American literatureIndian authorsHistory and criticism.Indians in literature.810.9/897Cox James H(James Howard),1968-1037688MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462323103321The red land to the south2458804UNINA
