Changed Forever: American Indian Boarding-School Literature

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.
