Cree-M茅tis scholar Dr. Deanna Reder did not study Indigenous literatures as an undergraduate. At the time such courses did not exist at her university. Propelled by this lack, she began to read outside of the conventional canon, with a keen eye on texts written by Cree or M茅tis authors. By the time she began her doctoral work in 2001, the field began to shift and a generation of 21st Century Indigenous writers began to be published.
Listen to Professor Alexander Manshel,听author of the forthcoming book听Writing Backwards: Historical Fiction and the Reshaping of the American Canon, in the podcast听On the Media. Manshel speaks of the ressurgence of historical novels and their focus on disregarded histories in the segment "How Historical Novels Can Help Us Remember".
