The first book to be published by a member of the California Yurok tribe, it offers an autobiographical view of the intricacies of life in the tribe at the dawn of the twentieth century, as well as a powerful critique of the colonial agenda. Elizabeth Schleber Lowry presents a rhetorical analysis of this iconic text, investigating how Thompson aimed to appeal to diverse audiences and constructed arguments that still resonate today. Placing Thompson’s work in the context of nineteenth-century Native American rhetoric, Lowry argues that Thompson is a skillful rhetor who has much to teach us about our nation’s violent past and how it continues to shape our culture and politics. In .To the American Indian., Thompson challenges negative stereotypes about indigenous cultures and contrasts widespread Euroamerican abuse of natural resources with Yurok practices that once effectively maintained the region’s ecological and social stability. As such, Thompson’s text functions not only as a memoir, but also as a guide to sustainable living. | | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | | 关键词 | Lucy Thompson; To the American Indian; Yurok Indians; Native American history; California history; Native | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-00259-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-00259-6 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2019 |
