Native American fiction writers have confronted EuroAmerican narratives about Indians and the colonial world those narratives help create. These Native authors offer stories in which Indians remake this colonial world by resisting conquest and assimilation, sustaining their cultures and communities, and surviving.In Muting White Noise, James H. Cox considers how Native authors have liberated our imaginations from colonial narratives. Cox takes his title from Sherman Alexie, for whom the white noise of a television set represents the white massproduced culture that mutes American Indian voices. Cox foregrounds the work of Native intellectuals in his readings of the American Indian novel tradition. He thereby develops a critical perspective from which to resee the role played by the EuroAmerican novel tradition in justifying and enabling colonialism.By examining novels by Native authorsespecially Thomas King, Gerald Vizenor, and AlexieCox shows how these writers challenge and revise colonizers tales about Indians. He then offers red readings of some revered EuroAmerican novels, including Herman Melvilles MobyDick, and shows that until quite recently, even those nonNative storytellers who sympathized with Indians could imagine only their vanishing by storys end.Muting White Noise breaks new ground in literary criticism. It stands with Native authors in their struggle to reclaim their own narrative space and tell stories that empower and nurture, rather than undermine and erase, American Indians and their communities.
