Fugitive Poses: Native American Indian Scenes of Absence and Presence

by Gerald Vizenor

Book Overview

Native peoples today are best known through their fugitive poses: textual and graphic depictions steeped in a modernist aesthetic of romantic victimry, tragedy, and nostalgia. In Fugitive Poses Gerald Vizenor argues that such representations celebrate the absence rather than the presence of the Native.
