When did Indians become straight? When we started pretending to be, with and without the help of those who would straighten us. Let's stop pretending or let's get crooked and pretend something better. Let's read Mark Rifkin's book that combines the best of historical inquiry, literary/theoretical analysis, and thinking outside straight lines in ways that confront us with the power of deviant views of familiar, and some unfamiliar, texts and policies.---Craig Womack, author of Drowning by Fire "Mark Rifkin's book provides an exciting and astute account of the relation between the erosion of Native sovereignty and the `straightening' of sexualities in the history of the U.S. as settler-nation, from James Fenimore Cooper to Leslie Feinberg and Craig Wom-ack. This is a major contribution to a meeting of the waters between Native Studies and Sexuality Studies."---Michael Moon, Professor and Director of American Studies, Emory University "In asking `When did Indians become straight?', Mark Rifkin isn't simply being provocative: he's setting the critical foundation for what is undoubtedly the most incisive, well-researched, respectful, and thoroughly engaging study of sexuality and gender in American Indian literature, and one of the best works of criticism in the field in recent years."---Daniel Heath Justice, Associate Professor of English, University of Toronto "This is a groundbreaking study of the uses of the native in the making of critical theory and national belonging."---Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Professor of Anthropology & Gender Studies, Columbia University When Did Indians Become Straight? explores the relationship between contested U.S. notions of normality and shifting forms of Native American governance and self-representation. Examining a wide range of texts (including captivity narratives, fiction, government documents, and anthropological tracts), it offers a cultural history of the ways Native peoples have been inserted into Euramerican discourse ...
