Books by Mark Rifkin

Mark Rifkin examines nineteenth-century Native writings by William Apess, Elias Boudinot, Sarah Winnemucca, and Zitkala-Sa to rethink and reframe contemporary debates around recognition, refusal, and resurgence for Indigenous peoples.

Mark Rifkin turns to black and indigenous speculative fiction to show how it offers a site to better understand black and indigenous political movements' differing orientations in ways that can foster forms of mutual engagement and cooperation without subsuming them into a single political framework in the name of solidarity.
