T1 "Y'All Need To Play Songs for Your People": (P)reservation versus Assimilation and the Politics of White-Indian Encounter in Sherman Alexie's Fiction
A1 Keegan, James
AB Sherman Alexie very deftly raises some of the complex issues relatedto the interplay of cultural assimilation and cultural preservation—or, more aptly, reservation— and he does so by way of the centraltheme of definition. After all, what makes for assimilation if not anagreement to assign the same meanings —the same definitions— toparticular places and events? What makes for reservation but an unwillingnessto accept or to offer alternative definitions, or, consideringthe externally enforced nature of the reservation for native Americans,a hegemonic disavowal of the viability of a particular set of definitionsthat does not match those maintained by the hegemony?
