Sherry L. Smith's book is a study of the literary productions of ten popular writers who wrote on Indian themes and to varying extents embraced and promoted Indian causes between 1880 and 1940. Few of these writers achieved much lasting prominence; in all they realized only small victories when they took up political work on behalf of the Indians. And yet, in part because they had only average literary talents and embodied many of the contradictions that afflicted others of their time, they offer, in the hands of Smith, whose literary talents are considerable, a glimpse of this period that deserves careful attention. |
