Las armas del enemigo: apropiación y resistencia en la literatura de las mujeres indias en Estados Unidos

Abstract

This paper studies appropriation and translation as processes which inform the relationship between Indian and white societies as represented in contemporary Native American Literature. The processes studied are those of translation (violent translation) and inverse appropriation of technology, language, institutions and knowledge which become tools for resistance in these texts, which comprise both poetry and fiction by authors such as Leslie Silko, Linda Hogan or Anne Lee Walters, among others.
