Throughout the nineteenth century, Native and non-Native women writers protested US government actions that threatened indigenous people's existence. The conventional genres they adopted typically had been used to reinforce the oppressive policies of removal, war, and allotment. But in Unconventional Politics Janet Dean explores how four authors converted these frameworks to serve a politics of dissent.
