Overview

Since the 19th century indigenous writers have been challenging their missing cultural, political and literary invisibility. Yet, stereotypical misconceptions of the inferior Indian continue to exist. This study of reversal unfolds an unseen perspective of Native Americans in which they emerge as ethnographers of whiteness and indigeneity. Rereading the autobiographical accounts of Charles A. Eastman, Sarah Winnemucca and Zitkala-sa results in a framework which allows us to reimagine native culture, while it simultaneously reverses and completes our understanding of white identity. This new approach investigates how these native writers create a counterimage of the Indian's White Man, by creating their own study of races. By emerging as scholars of reversal 'avant la lettre', their works may additionally be read as testimonies of reconciliation.
