Section Title:
Native American History
Section Info:
The "New Indian History" burst onto the scene a generation ago in response to events both inside and outside of the academy. This Native-centered approach to the indigenous past in North America has transformed the way scholars (and to some extent the general public) perceive this subject. While the "New Indian History" remains enormously influential, it is currently being challenged and changed by new approaches that employ the frameworks of settler colonialism and transnationalism and the language of indigeneity. This seminar will assess the contributions and limits of the New Indian History and these newer approaches to interpretations of major events and movements in American Indian history, including removal, the invasion of the Transmississippi West, and the rise of national reform movements. The seminar will also explore the strengths and weaknesses of these approaches in understanding major themes in the Native past such as spirituality, gender, and economic change. The emphasis in the course will be on reading, debate and the charting of a new agenda for Native history.
