Reviews"When did Indians become straight? When we started pretending to be, with and without the help of those who would straighten us. Let's stop pretending or let's get crooked and pretend something better. Let's read Mark Rifkin's book that combines the best of historical inquiry, literary/theoretical analysis, and thinking outside straight lines in ways that confront us with the power of deviant views of familiar, and some unfamiliar, texts and policies." --CraigWomack, author of Drowning in Fire"Mark Rifkin's When Did Indians Become Straight? provides an exciting and astute account of the relation between the erosion of Native sovereignty and the 'straightening' of sexualities in the history of the U.S. as settler-nation, from James Fenimore Cooper to Leslie Feinberg and Craig Womack. This is a major contribution to a meeting of the waters between Native Studies and Sexuality Studies." --Michael Moon, Professor and Director of AmericanStudies, Emory University"In asking 'When did Indians become straight?', Mark Rifkin isn't simply being provocative: he's setting the critical foundation for what is undoubtedly the most incisive, well-researched, respectful, and thoroughly engaging study of sexuality and gender in American Indian literature, and one of the best works of criticism in the field in recent years." --Daniel Heath Justice, Associate Professor of English, University of Toronto"The ideas contained in Rifkin's book are fresh, provocative, and vital to understanding the American past, present and future." --LeftEyeOnBooks.com"When Did Indians Become Straight? is a groundbreaking study of the uses of the native in the making of critical theory and national belonging."--Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Professor of Anthropology & Gender Studies, Columbia University"Brilliant...The book is well researched, with rigorous and nuanced analysis and sophisticated theorization. Successfully spanning the entirety of U.S. history from the early republic to the early twenty-first century, this book is nothing short of a major feat, making serious contributions to American studies as well as literary studies, Native and Indigenous studies, queer studies, and anthropology." --American Quarterly"A theoretically rich text...An expansive study." --American Indian Quarterly"A towering achievement in two fields, American Indian studies and sexuality studies, and ought to be celebrated as paradigm shifting for both areas of study." --Studies in American Indian Literatures, "When did Indians become straight?
