In The Transit of Empire, Jodi A. Byrd explores how indigeneity functions as transit, a trajectory of movement that serves as precedent within U.S. imperial history. Byrd argues that contemporary U.S. empire expands itself through a transferable "Indianness" that facilitates acquisitions of lands, territories, and resources. Examining an array of literary texts, historical moments, and pending legislations--from the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma's vote in 2007 to expel Cherokee Freedmen to the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization bill--Byrd demonstrates that inclusion into the multicultural cosmopole does not end colonialism as it is purported to do. Rather, that inclusion is the very site of the colonization that feeds U.S. empire.Byrd contends that the colonization of American Indian and indigenous nations is the necessary ground from which to reimagine a future where the losses of indigenous peoples are not only visible and, in turn, grieveable, but where indigenous peoples have agency to transform life on their own lands and on their own terms"--Provided by publisher. 410 0$aFirst peoples (2010) 606 $aIndians of North America$xGovernment relations$xHistory 606 $aIndians of North America$xColonization$zUnited States 606 $aImperialism$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aRacism$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aIndians of North America$xGovernment relations$xHistory. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xColonization 615 0$aImperialism$xSocial aspects 615 0$aRacism$xHistory. 676 $a323.1197 700 $aByrd$b Jodi A$01599319 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817619403321 996 $aThe transit of empire$93921941 997 $aUNINA
