A Post-Colonial Perspective on James Welch's "The Heartsong of Charging Elk"

Washburn, Franci

Abstract

Drawing upon the works of Franz Fanon, Homi Bhabha, and Edward W. Said, this essay examines the construction of the post-colonial colonized subject through the eyes of the colonizer in James Welch's The Heartsong of Charging Elk. Furthermore, this essay addresses the doubling or trebling of identity construction/erasure created when Welch moves the main character, Charging Elk, from the United States to France.
