Mark My Words: Native Women Mapping Our Nations (First Peoples: New Directions in Indigenous Studies)

Definitely a solid look at the works of some indigenous women and their writing! I was really interested in the chapter about Silko (maybe largely in part because it's the only work I have specifically looked at) but also was the most explicit maybe in using Goeman's framework, as the connections between literal maps and narrative and almanac all came together. The chapter about movement between the spaces of the city and the reservation was also really solid and I think could be useful in teaching.

Enjoyed the reading to understand how we create our own identities

As a reviewer wrote on another book, it is the same for Mark My Words. While the author's text is as wonderful as the book's reviewers have credited it as, "The Kindle version of this text does not include real page numbers. As a scholarly text this is particularly problematic, making it near impossible to use for academic work requiring direct source citations. Even when highlighting and creating notes within the text readers are denied the ability to translate Loc #'s to page numbers. Considering the price (in comparison to the softcover) and the lack of real page numbers there is no reason a single person would purchase the Kindle version. Incredibly disappointing."

As described!
