This analysis explores how Native authors from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries navigate heteropatriarchal ideologies and practices through producing subtle and ironic critique, balancing identity constructions and relationships across cultures, adapting healing traditions and gender roles, transcending borders and binaries, and connecting race and gender ideologies to national identity to decolonize and maintain sovereignty.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLeah Sneider \u003c\/b\u003eis a professor of English and Women's and Gender studies as well as the Collegewide Coordinator for the Women's and Gender Studies Program at Montgomery College in Rockville, Maryland.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e29 October 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666978384\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e212\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51515343077516,"sku":"9781666978384","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_0e91e59a-1c0a-41f0-b2d6-8d64d8de8db9.jpg?v=1784692449","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781666978384","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
