Crossing Waters, Crossing Worlds by Tiya Miles
Combines histories of the complex interactions between blacks and Natives in North America with examples and readings of art that has emerged from those exchanges.
“Crossing Waters, Crossing Worlds addresses an extremely important nexus in ethnic studies and cultural studies and demonstrates the indispensable contributions of relational and comparative study”—George Lipsitz, author of American Studies in a Moment of Danger
“This collection is an important extension of a vital topic—historical and contemporary cultural and political relationships between Indian and African peoples—fully into the realm of African diaspora studies.”—James F. Brooks, editor of Confounding the Color Line: The Indian-Black Experience in North America
“Tiya Miles and Sharon P. Holland have brought together precision history, evocative criticism, and wrenching memoir and fiction to offer a compelling picture of the meeting grounds where black and Indian lives intertwine. So much more than a decentering of whiteness, this collection truly opens up new and exciting terrain.”—Philip J. Deloria, author of Indians in Unexpected Places
