1492-1992 - Re/Discovering Colonial Writing

1492-1992 was first published in 1991. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.

The essays and documents in this volume underscore the importance of writing as companion of Empire, while at the same time highlighting its subversive power as a series of counter-narratives emerge to contest the tactics and values of the "victors."
