- Picturing Worlds is the result of research dating back 14 years and is one of only two monographs currently to focus extensively—and expansively—on Anishinaabe writing. Writing the book required extensive research in the Midwestern US and Great Lakes area of Canada, as well as considerable breadth of reading in Literature, History, Anthropology, and Indigenous Languages and Cultures. At over 100,000 words, it proposes reading back through contemporary Indigenous writing to forms of alternative literacy, and proposes strategies for reading Anishinaabe literature as both anticolonial activism and Indigenous resurgence.
