Inter/Nationalism examines mutual forms of decolonization in North America and Palestine. Salaita analyzes the many ways that the issue of Palestine has become important to the fields of American Indian and Indigenous Studies while arguing that American Indian and Indigenous Studies should be more central to scholarship and activism focused on Palestine. The book emphasizes the importance of the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions, or BDS, movement against Israel to the creation of intellectual and political communities that put Natives and Palestinians into conversation. Offering an inside account of how BDS operates, the book illustrates its terrific potential as an organizing community. Salaita also critiques a wide range of Native poetry that invokes Palestine as a theme or symbol; the speeches of US president Andrew Jackson, who oversaw the Trail of Tears, and early Zionist thinker Ze’ev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky; and the discourses of “shared values” between the United States and Israel. The book is written for both academics and activists, with the goal of eroding the traditional boundaries between the two communities.Less

Chapter four continues the examination of global violence and connects it to early forms of literary mappings, by examining Leslie Marmon Silko's epic novel Almanac of the Dead. The use of narrative as counterparts to producing and being productive of space have led to great spatial injustice in the wake of neoliberal policies that seek to further privatize spaces from that of the body to land. By connecting the early spatial restructuring to that of the turn of the century, we are able to see the on-going effects of colonial spatial restructuring and find solutions for (re)mapping our nations.Less

More
Mishuana Goeman provides feminist interventions into an analysis of colonial spatial restructuring of Native lands and bodies in the twentieth century. Through an examination of the ways that Native women's poetry and prose reveal settler colonialism in North America as an enduring form of gendered spatial violence, she continually ask how rigid spatial categories, such as nations, borders, reservations, and urban areas are formed by settler nation-states structuring of space. As Native people become mobile, reserv/ation land bases become overcrowded, and the state seeks to enforce means of containment and close its borders to incoming, often indigenous, immigrants, it is imperative to refocus Native nations efforts beyond replicating settler models of territory, jurisdiction, borders, and race. The authors imagining of such alternative to gendered and colonial spatial violence, territorial property logics, and uneven regimes of capitalist accumulation and dispossession have deep roots in narrative geographies, thus providing the basis for her Native feminist interventions. The book brings multiple fields into this complex conversation such as Native American Studies, Literary and Cultural Studies, Feminist and Gender Studies, Postcolonial Studies, Cultural Geography, and American Studies. In (re)mapping colonial logics, Native people hold the power to rethink the way they engage with territory, relationships to each other and with other Native nations and settler nations. It is these stories that will lead the way as they have for generations.Less

The afterword reflects on the book’s methodology, which it calls an “anthropological poetics.” In elaborating an anthropological framework in literary studies, this afterword lingers with the difficulty of trying to understand how the structures of language shape and complicate the structures of the worlds in which words and people find themselves. The afterword thus explains how, in allowing for aesthetics (especially form and rhythm) to take on world-making, world-framing, and world-breaking force, the present book follows Gloria Anzaldúa’s emphasis that “it is vital that we occupy theorizing space, that we not allow white men and women solely to occupy it...[because by] bringing in our own approaches and methodologies, we transform that theorizing space.” This afterword highlights how the book has taken such an approach to poetic objects, striving to allow their forms to theorize on the situations in which they find themselves and, in recognizing themselves there, to which they give situational definition. It concludes with a reading of Central-American poet and visual artist Roberto Harrison’s visual and literary engagements with Kuna molas and applique techniques.Less

The introductory chapter to each of the two volumes in Transforming Ethnomusicology offers a critical discussion of a range of socially engaged approaches as well as their deep historical roots that we consider foundational and fundamental to the ethnomusicological endeavor. These approaches affiliate variably with such intellectual traditions as Marxism, feminism and anti-racism, Post-colonialism and Indigenous Studies, Participatory Action Research, analyses of heritage practices and sustainability challenges, studies of intellectual property regimes and ecologies, and other work in ethnomusicology and cognate disciplines in the social sciences. Our aim is to deepen the conversation about how intellectual history has informed our discipline and to probe the premises, activities, and assumptions of scholars past and present who strive to respond to the concerns of the communities with whom they work.Less

The conclusion reflects on how a politics of difference and belonging—and the idea of indigenous social authenticity more broadly—is negotiated by Diné citizens. Focusing on the language fluency controversy in the most recent Navajo Presidential election with Presidential Candidate Christopher C. Deschene, I address what the stakes might be in reifying social difference through the lenses of linguistic knowledge and performance, place of residence, musical taste, and phenotype. I then examine language use and vitality in Navajo language immersion schools on the Navajo Nation. Bringing together ethnomusicology, linguistic anthropology and Critical Indigenous Studies, I examine the parts of Navajo identity that are either publicly celebrated or hidden from view, and I interrogate what these categories of difference mean for those that utilize—or refuse them—today.Less

Specifically, it reflects on the relationship between history and literary studies within these intersecting fields. By reflecting on what colonial archives say and do not say, the conclusion argues for the importance of research ethics and methods that confront, acknowledge, and respond to historical silences.Less
