Description:... Until recently, any discussion of theories and the Native American past was often exiled to introductory chapters and footnotes. But now, in Clearing a Path, Nancy Shoemaker has assembled a collection of original essays by leading scholars of Native American studies that puts theoretical concerns first. Clearing a Path offers critical new models and ideas for exploring Native American history, drawing from disciplines like history, anthropology, and creative writing, and making this volume a must-read for anyone interested in the history of indigenous peoples.
