Description

Native peoples today are best known through their fugitive poses: textual and graphic depictions steeped in a modernist aesthetic of romantic victimry, tragedy, and nostalgia.
In Fugitive Poses Gerald Vizenor argues that such representations celebrate the absence rather than the presence of the Native.
Gerald Vizenor is a professor of American studies and Native American literature at the University of California, Berkeley.
He is the author of more than twenty books, including Griever: An American Monkey King in China, winner of the American Book Award.
