Mixedblood Messages

Mehr zum Buch

Exploring the complexities of Indian identity and environmental connections, Louis Owens uses humor and personal insights from his mixedblood heritage to critique how literature and film often confine Native American narratives into a sanitized "Indian Territory." He argues that these powerful social and historical forces seek to neutralize Indigenous voices. In contrast, Owens introduces the concept of "Frontier," a vibrant space where cultures can intersect and evolve, challenging the limitations imposed by colonial perspectives.
