Review Quotes:
"Well-conceived, well researched, accessible, and highly engaging, David Carlson's Modernity in Motion is an essential resource both for established scholars of Indigenous literary and cultural studies and for readers newly discovering Gerald Vizenor and his work. Many studies claim to parse Vizenor's idiosyncratic nomenclature for the impacts of colonialism and to explicate the intricate turns of Vizenor's writing of theory as story, but this book is the real deal--and a must read."--Chadwick Allen, author of Trans-Indigenous: Methodologies for Global Native Literary Studies and Transit: Serpent Mound Crossing Space, Time, Discourse
