Black-Native Autobiographical Acts: Navigating the Minefields of Authenticity - Hardcover

by Sarita Cannon (Author)

By analyzing the scrapbooks of Sylvester Long Lance, oral histories from Black Americans enslaved by American Indians, music of Jimi Hendrix, photos of contemporary Black Indians, and performances of former Miss Navajo Radmilla Cody, Cannon shows how Afro-Native people unsettle biological, political, and cultural metrics of racial authenticity.
