"The 'savage' speaks, gains voice, and articulates resistance to the forces of oppression in Aldama's "Disrupting Savagism." It is relentless in its rigor and perspicacious in its investigation as it dismantles the social discourses that ascribe Native Americans and mixed bloods 'savage.' Aldama's efforts allow the Mestizo and Native American to take hold of the apparatus of representation and affirm self-identity. "Disrupting Savagism" is an important work, long needed to fill the gap in our collective understanding, a work that will have broad and long-lasting impact. I can think of no other work that addresses this material so capably and so thoroughly. An intelligent and powerful work."--Alfred Arteaga, author of "Chicano Poetics: Heterotexts and Hybridities"
