Scott Richard Lyons. Rhetorical Sovereignty: What Do American Indians Want from Writing?

Lyons, Scott Richard. "Rhetorical Sovereignty: What Do American Indians Want from Writing?" CCC 51.3 (2000): 447-468.

Abstract:

After years of colonization, oppression, and resistance, American Indians are making clear what they want from the heretofore compromised technology of writing. Rhetorical sovereignty, a people's control of its meaning, is found in sites legal, aesthetic, and pedagogical, and composition studies can both contribute to and learn from this work.
