Arnold Krupat
The Voice in the Margin: Native American Literature and the Canon
Berkeley: University of California Press, 1989.
Krupat points out how seamlessly Native American literature fits
in with what is generally taken to be American cultural history.
He makes a case for including literary theory in Native American
studies and examines how impossible it is to discuss American
civilization without also commenting on the historical relation
of the Europeans to the Indians.
