Description
Science fiction often explores the relationship between humans and the unknown, but Native American writers have claimed the genre as a space to critique colonialism and assert Indigenous worldviews. In "Encountering the Sovereign Other", Miriam C. Brown Spiers proposes a new theoretical framework for understanding Indigenous science fiction, bringing together Native theorists with science fiction theorists. This book analyzes four novels by contemporary Indigenous authors, demonstrating how the genre expands boundaries while reinforcing the relevance of Indigenous knowledge.
