Changed Forever : American Indian Boarding-School Literature

The second volume of the first in-depth study of a range of literature written by Native Americans who attended government-run boarding schools. After a theoretical and historical introduction to American Indian boarding-school literature, Changed Forever, Volume II examines the autobiographical writings of a number of Native Americans who attended the federal Indian boarding schools.Considering a wide range of tribal writers, some of them well known-like Charles Eastman, Luther Standing Bear, and Zitkala-Sa-but most of them little known-like Walter Littlemoon, Adam Fortunate Eagle, Reuben Snake, and Edna Manitowabi, among others-the book offers the first wide-ranging assessment of their texts and their thoughts about their experiences at the schools.
