Reviews:
It creates a new definition of American Indian literary texts as a self-representational genre. This is an intelligent and insightful application of post-modern critical methods to American Indian texts. The scope of the study is broad and ambitious, and the attempt to define Indian self-representations from colonial times to the present is innovative and instructive." ―Raymond J. DeMallie

" . . . very suggestive, provocative, engaging . . . ―Studies in American Indian Literatures

" . . . Murray's book establishes itself as the single best introduction to Native American text-making in particular and the betrayals of the translation in general. An essential acquisition for all college and university libraries, and highly recommended for larger public libraries." ―Choice

"It is a pleasure to recommend with wholehearted enthusiasm David Murray's Forked Tongues." ―Western American Literature
