The American Culture Consortium RIW reading group will discuss chapter 2 and the second interlude, "(ill)legible, (Il)liberal Subjects: Charles Alexander Eastman's Poetics of Withholding," in Christopher Pexa's Translated Nation: Rewriting the Dakhota Oyate. We will discuss the discernment and wisdom of "withholding" to record and to protect cultural knowledge in Eastman's early 20th century texts.

Suggested sources pertaining to wisdom and discernment in research are welcome. Contact [email protected] for more information.
