Ethnocriticism takes cultural critique to the frontiers that delineate different cultures. In his deft new book, Krupat explores the contentious boundary between native and mainstream American literatures and cultures. For over a century, discourses of ethnography, history, and literature have aimed to represent the Indian in America. Krupat examines these discourses and the ways in which Indians have sought to respond, resulting in an oppositional or, at the very least, a parallel discourse.
