Description: Native Studies Keywords is a genealogical project that looks at the history of words that claim to have no history. The end goal is not to determine which words are appropriate but to critically examine words that are crucial to Native studies, in hopes of promoting debate and critical interrogation.
Review Quotes: "The book consists of 17 analyses of terms as they appear not in the social science literature but in the literature of postmodernism. This being the case, the book will be most valuable in the humanities, where it will be a fundamental resource for those who generate theories and concepts."--Choice
"Native Studies Keywords demonstrates a focus on the keyword sovereignty and the value of highlighting its importance in any conversation relating to contemporary Indian country."--American Indian Culture and Research Journal
