I found this a fascinating read. The author, Alex McDonnell delves deep into the repression of Indigenous peoples within American nineteenth-century. His uses post colonial psychoanalysis as explored by Ranjana Khanna in Dark Continents (2003) to interrogate the place of the Indian within the white, Euro-American psyche in the works of James Fenimore Cooper, Lydia Maria Child, Robert Montgomery Bird, Helen Hunt Jackson and Herman Melville. While the writing is dense, once you get past this, the book opens up into one of the most profound interpretations of literature ever. I would highly recommend this to any student of American literature or even the casual reader.
