In this groundbreaking interdisciplinary work, Piatote tracks the double movement of literature and law in the contest over the aims of settler-national domestication and the defense of tribal-national culture, political rights, and territory. Beth H. Piatote is assistant professor of Native American studies at the University of California, Berkeley. |
