"Indians, Environment, and Identity on the Borders of American"" Literature" foregrounds amalgamation among American Indians, African Americans, and Euramericans as a central feature of American literature. The authors discussed, including James Fenimore Cooper, William Faulkner, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, and Leslie Marmon Silko, place this cross-cultural contact in nature, not only collapsing cultural and racial boundaries, but also complicating divisions between "wilderness" and "civilization."

Smith highlights the role of geography in these critical discourses, forging a connection between ecological theory and ethnic studies. Less
