Recenzje

Kay Yandell's new book constitutes a most impressive achievement. A welcome addition to rethinking relations among indigenous and U.S.-focused concepts of identity in the nineteenth century United States, Telegraphies considers traditional writers such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Emily Dickinson, and Walt Whitman alongside concepts like cyborg feminism, the moccasin telegraph, the writings of Leslie Marmon Silko, and orators such as Plenty Coup and Pretty Shield. Meticulous research and phenomenal observations about transformations caused by the 'dot-dash' electrical conduits of the telegraph make this an essential book.
