内容简介 在线阅读本书

Zitkala-Sa struggled with the conflicting influences of American-Indian and white culture throughout her life. Raised on a Sioux reservation, she attended boarding schools that enforced assimilation and was witness to major events in white-Indian relations in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Drawing on personal experience, Zitkala-Sa's stories and articles illuminate the tragedy and complexity of the American-Indian experience. In authoritative prose, she encourages new thinking about the perceptions, assumptions and customs of both Sioux and white cultures and raises questions about assimilation, identity and race relations that remain relevant today.
作者简介 Zitkala-Sa (1876-1938) was editor of American Indian Magazine and founder of the National Council of American Indians, the tribal advocacy group that she led until her death. Cathy N. Davidson teaches English at Duke University, where she is Vice Provost for Interdisciplinary Studies. Ada Norris is a Ph.D. candidate in the English Department at Duke.

Sioux writer and activist Zitkala-Sa (1876-1938) was born in the year of the infamous Battle of Little Big Horn--her people's last victory over the invasion forces that would soon force them onto reservations, on one of which she grew up under a regime of forced assimilation. Her writing career blossomed early, with stories published in the Atlantic Monthly when she was in her early twenties. She could have been a mere exotic, but she found a way to capture the interest of non-Indian readers, who preferred the romanticized noble savage to the often-sad reality of Indian life, and to give voice to her threatened culture. Her work, surprisingly, seems undated, perhaps because, unfortunately, the situation of Indian people has changed so little. This first comprehensive collection of her work, consisting of a significant sequence of mythic tales as well as memoirs and poetry, reveals Zitkala-Sa as a crusading, spiritually aware woman.
