Elizabeth Cook-Lynn's memoir, "In Defense of Loose Translations," is a powerful exploration of her personal and professional experiences as an Indian in America. Cook-Lynn, a twentieth-century child raised in a Sisseton Santee Dakota family, recounts her unexpected journey to a professorship in a regional western university through the lens of affirmative action. She highlights the opportunities and setbacks that shaped her career, including lecturing to professional audiences, activism addressing nonacademic audiences, writing and publishing, tribal-life activities, and teaching in a hostile and corrupt milieu. Cook-Lynn frames her life's work as the inevitable struggle between the indigene and the colonist in a global history, and she has been a consistent critic of the colonization of American Indians following the treaty-signing and reservation periods of development. This memoir offers a unique perspective on the debate about indigenousness in academia and provides valuable insights into the experiences of Indian people in America.
