Claude McKay Book

This book definitely featured extensive descriptions of other Native and Indigenous texts. I started reading this to get a broader perspective on Indigenous identity and the bq system from a more global perspective. The book definitely succeeded in broadening that, and there is definitely alot of info about The Maori. I most appreciate the points made on the idea of "memory" especially during a time where popular discourse has been so critical in policing Native/Indigenous identity. With the nodapl resistance movement, the content related to AIM activism and hopes for a collective "Fourth world" movement of Indigenous resistance is so relevant. I do appreciate that there is nuances mentioned such as pan indianism , and strategic essentialism. also the mention of specific treaties and events/assertions of resistance. Would def recommend to anyone looking to learn more about concepts of identity and Tribal Sovereignty/ Nationhood.
