Reid Gómez makes \"The Indian Connection\" that Silko prophesizes – Land Back! – and offers a prescient response to Silko's enduring question: who has spiritual possession of the Américas?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRealizing the great capacity of Black and Native studies, Gómez crafts a visionary mode of scholarship that resists acknowledging conceptual, political, spiritual, formal, or linguistic borders. Rather than comparing or separating, she demonstrates how to stop telling things apart: Black Indian, slavery colonization, and writing translation. Gómez shifts focus from racialized identities to the prophesied world itself, working with music, literature, and language to elaborate the connections that exist between racialized bodies, land, and sea as she emphasizes the ubiquity of escape, revolt, and beauty\/hózhǫ́.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA theoretical composition, this book enacts a practice of re-visioning that uses Silko's \u003ci\u003eAlmanac\u003c\/i\u003e to challenge the limits of thought, language, and the very idea of scholarship.
