The Beadworkers
Beth Piatote's luminous debut collection opens with a feast, grounding its stories in the landscapes and lifeworlds of the Native Northwest, exploring the inventive and unforgettable pattern of Native American life in the contemporary world Told with humor, subtlety, and spareness, the mixed–genre works of Beth Piatote’s first collection find unifying themes in the strength of kinship, the pulse of longing, and the language of return. A woman teaches her niece to make a pair of beaded earrings while ruminating on a fractured relationship. An eleven–year–old girl narrates the unfolding of the Fish Wars in the 1960s as her family is propelled to its front lines. In 1890, as tensions escalate at Wounded Knee, two young men at college—one French and the other Lakota—each contemplate a death in the family. In the final, haunting piece, a Nez Perce–Cayuse family is torn apart as they debate the fate of ancestral remains in a moving revision of the Greek tragedy Antigone. Formally inventive and filled with vibrant characters, The Beadworkers draws on Indigenous aesthetics and forms to offer a powerful, sustaining vision of Native life.
Domestic Subjects
Amid the decline of U.S. military campaigns against Native Americans in the late nineteenth century, assimilation policy arose as the new front in the Indian Wars, with its weapons the deployment of culture and law, and its locus the American Indian home and family. In this groundbreaking interdisciplinary work, Piatote tracks the double movement of literature and law in the contest over the aims of settler-national domestication and the defense of tribal-national culture, political rights, and territory.
Becoming Weather
Following a relational, Indigenous-led approach grounded in 25 years of collaborative work, this book looks to weather and climate, tracing the embodied, emplaced and affective ways weather co-constitutes people, place and time/s raising critical questions of ethics, politics and becoming. Becoming weather leads the reader through a reflexive engagement with weather, seeking to shed light on pressing issues around climate change and its entanglements: from the body where contours of weather are intimately felt and known, to the ways that agencies of weather are implicated in the construction of nations, to global topologies of climate (in)justice. Reflecting on deep and ongoing collaborative...
Finding Chief Kamiakin
"Born to T'siyiyak, a champion horse racer, and Com-mus-ni, the daughter of legendary Chief Wlyawllkt, Kamiakin from an early age helped tend his family's expanding herds. He wintered with relatives in tule mat lodges in the Kittitas and Ahtanum valleys. During other times of the year he shared in communal springtime root gathering, summertime salmon fishing, and autumn berry-picking and hunting." "Kamiakin adhered to ancestral tradition. Alone as an adolescent on Mount Rainier's icy heights, he dreamt of the Buffalo's power, completing his quest for a guardian spirit. Muscular and sinewy, he became a skilled equestrian and competitor in feats of agility. He married and established a camp on...
Der Antigonistische Konflikt
Sophokles' Antigone gehört zu den meistbearbeiteten Stoffen der Antike. Aber was macht sie so kultur- und zeitübergreifend anschlussfähig? Marcus Llanque und Katja Sarkowsky führen dies auf eine spezifische Konfliktstruktur zurück, die sie mit dem Begriff des »antigonistischen Konflikts« fassen. Sie untersuchen, wie Literatur und Politische Theorie seit ca. 1990 das jeweilige Prononcieren der unterschiedlichen Konfliktlinien Antigones als produktive Linse nutzen, um politische und gesellschaftliche Konflikte im Kontext multikultureller Demokratien auszuhandeln und die Grenzen unseres demokratischen Selbstverständnisses auszuloten.
Die Politik der Toten
Der Tod und die Toten spielen eine gesellschaftspolitisch und kulturtheoretisch zentrale Rolle. Man kann mit den Toten Politik machen, sie können aber auch selbst als Teil von Politik und Gesellschaft begriffen werden. Debatten hierüber reichen von der Erinnerungs- bis zur Begräbnispolitik und berühren auch den Umgang mit toten Geflüchteten sowie mit den Toten revolutionärer Bewegungen. Die Beitragenden aus Literaturwissenschaft und Politischer Theorie laden zu einer breiten Lesart einer ›Politik der Toten‹ ein. Dabei wird deutlich, dass der Umgang mit den Toten und die Klärung ihrer Stellung in der Gesellschaft immer wieder aufs Neue ausgelotet werden müssen. In den dabei entstehenden Konflikten können die Toten nicht nur als Objekte des Streits, sondern mitunter auch als Mitwirkende verstanden werden.
We Are Not a Vanishing People

It tells the history of Native intellectuals and activists joining together to establish the Society of American Indians, a group of Indigenous men and women united in the struggle for Indian self-determination.
