Product Description
In this long-awaited book from one of the most recognized and respected scholars in Native Studies today, Emma LaRocque presents a powerful interdisciplinary study of the Native literary response to racist writing in the Canadian historical and literary record from 1850 to 1990. In When the Other Is Me, LaRocque brings a metacritical approach to Native writing, situating it as resistance literature within and outside the post-colonial intellectual context. She outlines the overwhelming evidence of dehumanization in Canadian historical and literary writing, its effects on both popular culture and Canadian intellectual development, and Native and non-Native intellectual responses to it in light of the interlayered mix of romanticism, exaggeration of Native "difference," and the continuing problem of internalization that challenges our understanding of the colonizer/colonized relationship.
