Indigenuity: Native Craftwork & the Art of American Literatures by Caroline Wigginton (review).
- Authors
Radus, Daniel
- Abstract
"Indigenuity: Native Craftwork & the Art of American Literatures" by Caroline Wigginton explores the relationship between settler-colonial literatures in North America and Native craftwork. Wigginton argues that Indigenous craftwork holds aesthetic and sensory knowledge that influenced Europeans' construction of their relationship with Indigenous lands. The book examines settler-produced texts and Native-produced texts, highlighting the negotiation and repatriation of Indigenous aesthetics. Wigginton's work challenges and reorients settler-colonial expressions and epistemologies, emphasizing the ongoing use and adaptation of craftwork by Indigenous creators to resist colonial displacement. This book is a valuable resource for scholars in various fields and demonstrates the transformative power of Indigenous studies in understanding North American literary and material histories.
