Summary note
Studies Native Americans as subjects and producers of varieties of American discourse. Ethnocriticism is the name given to a particular perspective as this is manifested on the level of critical writing. On the pedagogical or curricular level, the ethnocritical perspective manifests itself in the form of multiculturalism, a term taken to refer to that particular organization of cultural studies which engages otherness and difference in such a way as to provoke an interrogation of and a challenge to what is ordinarily taken as familiar and one's own. On the level of cognitive ethics, the ethnocritical perspective is consistent with a recognition and legitimation of heterogeneity (rather than homogeneity) as the social and cultural norm.
