Although there exists a growing body of criticism demonstrating the importance of Native American literature in its own right and in relation to other ethnic and minority literatures, Native materials still have not been accorded the full attention they require. Krupat argues that it is simply not possible to understand the ethical and intellectual heritage of the West without engaging America's treatment of its indigenous peoples and their extraordinary and resilient responses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCriticism of Native literature in its current development, Krupat suggests, operates from one of three critical perspectives against colonialism that he calls nationalism, indigenism, and cosmopolitanism. Nationalist critics are foremost concerned with tribal sovereignty, indigenist critics focus on non-Western modes of knowledge, and cosmopolitan critics wish to look elsewhere for comparative possibilities. Krupat persuasively contends that all three critical perspectives can work in a complementary rather than an oppositional fashion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA work marked by theoretical sophistication, wide learning, and social passion, \u003ci\u003eRed Matters\u003c\/i\u003e is a major contribution to the imperative effort of understanding the indigenous presence on the American continents.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eArnold Krupat is Professor of Literature in the Global Studies Faculty at Sarah Lawrence College.
