Self-Determined Stories:
The Indigenous Reinvention of Young Adult Literature
My first book, and the first book of its kind, Self-Determined Stories: The Indigenous Reinvention of Young Adult Literature illuminates how Indigenous Young Adult literature radically revises YA genre conventions, boldly troubles discourses of diversity, and dynamically imagines Indigenous empowerment in the contemporary era.
The book (copyright 2019) was released Nov. 1, 2018, with the Michigan State University Press American Indian Studies Series. You can buy the book on the MSU Press Website along with the sites of other online sellers.
An article drawn from the project, “Jeannette Armstrong’s Slash and the Indigenous Reinvention of Young Adult Literature,” can be found in Studies in American Indian Literatures 28.4 (Winter 2016/2017).
