Modernity in Motion offers a groundbreaking exploration of Anishinaabe writer Gerald Vizenor's richly layered body of work spanning fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Through the lens of transnational Indigenous studies, this compelling study reveals how Vizenor's concept of transmotion, which he defines as the interplay between local and global identities, reconstructs modernity as a dynamic force of transformation.
Close readings illuminate Vizenor's radical storytelling, which bridges seemingly disparate worlds: the White Earth Reservation, Nazi-occupied Paris, post-Hiroshima Japan, and beyond. By weaving these far-flung geographies into unexpected constellations, Vizenor challenges readers to rethink Indigenous history, sovereignty, and creative expression within a global framework.
Positioned at the intersection of tribal-centric and world literature paradigms, Modernity in Motion is essential reading for scholars of Indigenous studies and comparative literature.
