Siddharth Soni What is the relationship between critical Indigenous studies and decolonization? How does the Indigenous transnational imaginary consolidate Indigenous identities and relate not only to the national imaginary, but also to radical imaginaries that stem from race, gender or caste?

How does the conscious use of Indigenous vocabularies, grammars and syntactical forms within these fictions 're-invent the enemy’s language' (Joy Harjo, Gloria Bird) to affect a dialectic between English and Indigenous languages? What political purpose do these dialectics serve?
