The coming of the book to Indian country -- Being and becoming literate in the eighteenth-century native northeast -- New and uncommon means -- Public writing I : "to feel interest in our welfare" -- Public writing II : the Cherokee, a "reading and intellectual people" -- Proprietary authorship -- The culture of reprinting -- Indigenous illustration
In this ambitious and multidisciplinary work, Round examines the relationship between Native Americans and printed books over a two-hundred-year period, uncovering the individual, communal, regional, and political contexts for Native peoples' use of the printed word. From the northeastern woodlands to the Great Plains, Round argues, alphabetic literacy and printed books mattered greatly in the emergent, transitional cultural formations of indigenous nations threatened by European imperialism
