Miner, Michigan State University The last few years have seen a resurgence of Métis studies and, more importantly, legal cases ruling on the behalf of the Métis Nation. Winnipeg: University of Manitoba Press, 2015. Rekindling the Sacred Fire: Métis Ancestry and Anishinaabe Spirituality. The chapter on Bonnin and Eastman is refreshing in showing how Native writers' and activists' endeavors "intersected with a broader pluralist surge" in the 1910s and 1920s and, as Newmark's The Pluralist Imagination: From East to West in American Literature demonstrates, Native intellectuals were part of this pluralist conversation as well. She carefully places this argument in the literary critical tradition of examining Native writers' complex relations with discourses of assimilation.
Nin's autobiographical, political, and epistolary writings also "disrupt conventional impressions of successful assimilation" (99).
