The final chapters, hard meditations on the choices she has made as an [American] Indian academic, are especially poignant and contribute much to appreciating the intellectual core of American Indian studies. . . . What she presents is a meta memoir, one we will do well to digest and discuss-or dismiss to our detriment.”-Eric P.

Having spent much of her life illuminating the tragic irony of being an Indian in America, this provocative and often controversial writer narrates the story of her intellectual life in the field of American Indian studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Drawing on her experience as a twentieth-century child raised in a Sisseton Santee Dakota family and under the jurisdictional policies that have created significant social isolation in American Indian reservation life, Cook-Lynn tells the story of her unexpectedly privileged and almost comedic “affirmative action” rise to a professorship in a regional western university.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cook-Lynn explores how different opportunities and setbacks helped her become a leading voice in the emergence of American Indian studies as an academic discipline. She discusses lecturing to professional audiences, activism addressing nonacademic audiences, writing and publishing, tribal-life activities, and teaching in an often hostile and, at times, corrupt milieu.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cook-Lynn frames her life’s work as the inevitable struggle between the indigene and the colonist in a global history. She has been a consistent critic of the colonization of American Indians following the treaty-signing and reservation periods of development. This memoir tells the story of how a thoughtful critic has tried to contribute to the debate about indigenousness in academia.\u003cbr\u003e   \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e Prologue\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 7\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 8\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 9\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 10\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 11\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 12\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 13\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 14\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 15\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 16\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 17\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 18\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 19\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 20\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 21\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 22\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 23\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 24.
