Their written literary output was composed to suit their own needs and expressed views often in resistance to the agendas of the European colonists they were confronted with. Red Ink is an engaging retelling of American colonial history, one that draws on documents that have received scant critical and scholarly attention to offer an important new interpretation grounded in indigenous contexts and perspectives. Author Drew Lopenzina reexamines a literature that has been compulsively "corrected" and overinscribed with the norms and expectations of the dominant culture, while simultaneously invoking the often violent tensions of "contact" and the processes of unwitnessing by which Native histories and accomplishments were effectively erased from the colonial record. In a compelling narrative arc, Lopenzina enables the reader to travel through a history that, however familiar, has never been fully appreciated or understood from a Native-centered perspective. 410 0$aNative traces. 606 $aAmerican literature$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIndians in literature 606 $aIndians of North America$xIntellectual life 615 0$aAmerican literature$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIndians in literature. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xIntellectual life. 676 $a810.9/897 700 $aLopenzina$b Drew$01593663 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809469703321 996 $aRed ink$94112253 997 $aUNINA
