Manifest Manners: Postindian Warriors of Survivance (Manifest Manners: postindiańscy wojownicy survivance)

Wprowadzenie

The book appeared in 1994 at Wesleyan University Press; a later edition was titled “Manifest Manners: Narratives on Postindian Survivance” (1999). In a series of essays Vizenor examines how the “indian” has been invented: by Columbus’s error, by colonial and national narratives, by photography, film, museums and the social sciences, and by tourists and seekers of a borrowed spirituality. With reference to Jean Baudrillard, Vizenor calls these images simulations, “manifest manners” in which the doctrine of Manifest Destiny lives on. The “postindian warriors” of the subtitle are Native writers and storytellers who undo these simulations through irony, trickster stories and new narratives of presence. The book brought “survivance” to a wide academic readership; the concept has since become central in Native American and Indigenous studies.
