The Portrayal of Spatial Experiences in Selected Native American Women's Writings
The theme of space and place is pivotal to Native American women’s writing. The present study aims to explore the representation of spatial experiences in selected Native American writers’ works. The present study occurs at the crossroad of diverse fields such as literature, gender, geography,space, and place. Hence, the consequent theoretical framework is a juxtaposition of interdisciplinary theories ranging from literary theories to spatial studies, and gender theories to geographical concepts. The foundations of the present study are erected upon Louise Erdrich’s Tracks, Diane Glancy’s the Reason for Crows, and Polingaysi Qoyawayma’s No Turning Back. The reinterpretations and re-readings reinforce the notion that Native American woman has experienced a certain spatial subjugation throughout history that has resulted in a fractured and destabilized spatial identity.
