{"product_id":"native-liberty-natural-reason-and-cultural-survivance-9780803218925","title":"Native Liberty: Natural Reason and Cultural Survivance","description":"Gerald Vizenor was a journalist for the \u003ci\u003eMinneapolis Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e when he discovered that his direct ancestors were the editor and publisher of \u003ci\u003eThe Progress\u003c\/i\u003e, the first Native newspaper on the White Earth Reservation in Minnesota. Vizenor, inspired by the kinship of nineteenth century Native journalists, has pursued a similar sense of resistance in his reportage, editorial essays, and literary art. Vizenor reveals in \u003ci\u003eNative Liberty\u003c\/i\u003e the political, poetic, visionary, and ironic insights of personal identity and narratives of cultural sovereignty. He examines singular acts of resistance, natural reason, literary practices, and other strategies of survivance that evade and subvert the terminal notions of tragedy and victimry. \u003ci\u003eNative Liberty\u003c\/i\u003e nurtures survivance and creates a sense of cultural and historical presence. Vizenor, a renowned Anishinaabe literary scholar and artist, writes in a direct narrative style that integrates personal experiences with original presentations, comparative interpretations, and critiques of legal issues and historical situations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGerald Vizenor is Distinguished Professor of American Studies at the University of New Mexico and a professor emeritus of American studies at the University of California, Berkeley.
