Centering Indigenous writers, Book Anatomy argues that the reprints, editions, and paratextual elements of Indigenous books matter: they embody a frontline of colonization in which Native authors battle the public perception and reception of Indigenous books and negotiate representations of Indigenous bodies.

Book Anatomy by Amy Gore

Centering Indigenous writers, Book Anatomy argues that the reprints, editions, and paratextual elements of Indigenous books matter: they embody a frontline of colonization in which Native authors battle the public perception and reception of Indigenous books and negotiate representations of Indigenous bodies.
Gore’s writing is consistently clear and engaging, a pleasant, informative readIn fact, I was frequently struck by the ease with which Gore made her points." - Cari M. Carpenter, author of Seeing Red: Anger, Sentimentality, and American Indians

"In this eloquently argued study, Gore reveals how Native American authors used not just their words but also book covers, dust jackets, copyright statements, illustrations, and even blank space to contest negative stereotypes and claim a kind of publishing sovereignty over their narratives. This book opens pathways for teachers, students, tribes, and scholars to see Native-authored texts in richer ways." - Matt Cohen, author of The Silence of the Miskito Prince: How Cultural Dialogue Was Colonized

Amy Gore is assistant professor of English at North Dakota State University.
