Sovereign Selves: American Indian Autobiography and the Law
David J. Carlson
Explores how American Indian autobiographers' approaches to writing about their own lives have been impacted by American legal systems from the Revolutionary War until the 1920s. This book traces the way that their sustained engagement with colonial legal institutions gradually enabled them to produce a new rhetoric of "Indianness".
