  • “¡Todos Somos Indios!” Revolutionary Imagination, Alternative Modernity, and Transnational Organizing in the Work of Silko, Tamez, and Anzaldúa
    “¡Todos Somos Indios!” Revolutionary Imagination, Alternative Modernity, and Transnational Organizing in the Work of Silko, Tamez, and Anzaldúa JONI ADAMSON Once again hundreds of thousands of Mexicans took to the streets denouncing the government’s military actions and demanding a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Chiapas. It was during this series of demonstrations . that demonstrators coined the chants “¡Todos somos indios!” (We are all Indians!) and “¡Todos somos Marcos!” (We are all Marcos!). ——María Josefina Saldaña-Portillo, The Revolutionary Imagination in the Americas and the Age of Development Leslie Marmon Silko’s celebrated novel Ceremony helped shape the expectations that readers bring to literary works by Native American authors. Like the protagonists of earlier groundbreaking Native American novels such as D’Arcy McNickle’s The Surrounded and N. Scott Momaday’s House Made of Dawn, the main protagonist, Tayo, must somehow resist oppressive practices both on and off the reservation and find his way back to home and healing. Silko’s highly anticipated second novel, however, challenged the expectations her earlier novel had helped to create. The novel focuses on an Army of Retribution and Justice marching from Mexico toward the US and its loose alliances with other groups of ecowarriors, Yaqui resistance fighters, homeless army veterans, and computer hackers. Popular press reviewers of Almanac of the Dead admitted their disappointment at finding the novel so different from her previous work. They assailed the novel because it lacked the “authentic” focus on Native American storytelling and healing practices found in Storyteller and Ceremony and, instead, focused on the radical and—in their judgment—frightening idea of an army marching north toward the southern US border.1 Despite early negative reviews, in the nearly twenty years since its publication, Almanac has garnered increasing respect among readers and scholars.

Acknowledgements I would like to begin by acknowledging the contribution of my advisor, Dr. Robert Abzug, who during my time at UT Austin has encouraged me to examine American Jewish history from exciting, innovative perspectives. Indeed, Dr. Abzug has challenged me to glance outside of my “East Coast bubble” to better understand how Jewish experiences in small Southern towns are just as pertinent to appreciating the complexities of Jewish life in America as the experiences of Jews in places like New York City. I would also like to acknowledge the contribution of Dr. McKiernan- Gonzalez, whose seminar not only provided me with the space to explore the experiences of Jews in borderland regions, but also helped me to discover the unique narrative which is Perl’s. Moreover, I would like to acknowledge the contribution of those archives which enabled me to support and explore my research ideas.
