beepbeepbooks's review against another edition
4.0
Insightful and explosive, Spahr's argument that resistance through literature is always bound up in statist and nationalist politics is a persuasive one, as she weaves her way from modernism through to resistance literature of the 60's and then to the present day. Her prose is sparse but powerful; and the discussions on Hawaiian sovereignty further complicates questions of U.S. settler colonialism.

What an eye-opener! All about how the United States government has interfered with the production of literature and the consequences of that interference. Terrifying, sad and anger-inducing, I will never think about the history of literature in the same way again.
