Book Review

Writing Indian Nations: Native Intellectuals and the Politics of Historiography, 1827–1863. By Maureen Konkle. (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2004. xii, 367 pp. Cloth, $49.95, ISBN 0-8078-2822-X. Paper, $19.95, ISBN 0-8078-5492-1.)

Maureen Konkle has written an impressive book in which she deftly introduces those unfamiliar with nineteenth-century Native American writing to a rich and complex body of texts by Native Americans; at the same time she rewrites the terms of the critical discussion for those already familiar with these texts. Through extraordinary archival research, thoughtful critical analysis, and an awareness of the major trends in contemporary Native American scholarship, Writing Indian Nations asks its readers to reconsider what have too often been seen as scattered texts by unique individuals.
