A sweeping history--and counter-narrative--of Native American life from the Wounded Knee massacre to the present.
Dee Brown's 1970 Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee was the first truly popular book of Indian history ever published. But it promulgated the impression that American Indian history essentially ended with the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee--that not only did one hundred fifty Sioux die at the hands of the U. S. Cavalry but Native civilization did as well.
Growing up Ojibwe on a reservation in Minnesota, training as an anthropologist, and researching Native life past and present for his nonfiction and novels, David Treuer uncovered a different narrative. Instead of disappearing, and despite--or perhaps because of--intense struggles to preserve their language, their culture, their very families, the story of American Indians since the end of the nineteenth century to the present is one of unprecedented growth and rebirth.
In The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee, Treuer melds history with reportage and memoir. Beginning with the tribes' devastating loss of land and the forced assimilation of their children at government-run boarding schools, he shows how the period of greatest adversity also helped to incubate a unifying Native identity. He traces how conscription in the US military and the pull of urban life brought Indians into the mainstream and modern times, even as it steered the emerging shape of their self-rule and spawned a new generation of resistance. In addition, Treuer explores how advances in technology allowed burgeoning Indian populations across the continent to come together as never before, fostering a political force. Photographs, maps, and other visuals, from period advertisements to little-known historical photos, amplify the sense of accessing a fascinating and untold story. The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee is an essential, intimate history--and counter-narrative--of a resilient people in a transformative era.
David Treuer is an Ojibwe Indian from Leech Lake Reservation in northern Minnesota. He is the recipient of a Pushcart Prize, and fellowships from the NEH, Bush Foundation, and the Guggenheim Foundation.

His essays and stories have appeared in Esquire, TriQuarterly, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, Lucky Peach, the LA Times, and Slate.com.
Treuer published his first novel, Little, in 1995. He received his PhD in anthropology and published his second novel, The Hiawatha, in 1999. His third novel The Translation of Dr Apelles and a book of criticism, Native American Fiction; A User's Manual appeared in 2006.

这本书最让我感到震撼的,是它所展现出的那种超越了简单的好恶评判的复杂人性。 那些被置于极端环境下的角色,他们的选择往往是灰色地带的,没有绝对的英雄,也没有彻底的恶棍。 你会看到背叛与忠诚的界限变得模糊,为了生存而做出的牺牲,在道德的天平上如何摇摆不定。 这种对人性的深刻剖析,拒绝了简单的二元对立,使得每一个人物都拥有了令人信服的复杂性。 我读到某些人物的动机时,会感到一种强烈的共鸣,甚至会反思自己在相似的压力下会如何行动。 这种对“人之所以为人”的探究,使其超越了特定历史事件的范畴,成为了一部关于人类精神韧性和道德困境的深刻寓言。
评分这本书的叙事手法着实让人眼前一亮,作者似乎拥有一种魔力,能将最沉重的历史背景描绘得既有冲击力又不失温度。我特别欣赏他对人物内心世界的细腻捕捉,那种在巨大变故面前,个体情感的挣扎与坚韧,被刻画得入木三分。 那些零散的片段,看似不经意地散落在广阔的篇章中,实则如同精妙的马赛克,最终拼凑出一幅关于生存与记忆的宏大图景。阅读过程中,我常常需要停下来,不是因为情节复杂,而是被那种情绪的张力所牵引,不得不深吸一口气,整理一下思绪。它不像那种教科书式的历史陈述,而是更像一首低吟浅唱的史诗,充满了人性的光辉与幽暗,让人在字里行间感受到了时代洪流中个体命运的无常与伟大。 这种叙事上的层次感,使得即便是对相关历史背景不甚了解的读者,也能迅速沉浸其中,被故事中人物的命运所打动,从而引发更深层次的反思。
评分从语言风格上来看,这本书展现出一种独特的、近乎吟诵的节奏感。 句子的长短错落有致,时而如密集的鼓点,催人奋进,时而又如长长的叹息,将情绪缓缓释放。 词汇的选择带着一种古朴的重量感,仿佛从古老的口述传统中直接汲取而来,充满了画面感和重量感。 这种独特的语言质地,使得阅读过程本身也变成了一种仪式性的体验,让人不得不放慢语速,细细品味每一个词语所承载的文化和历史的重量。 整体而言,这本书在文学形式上的探索,与它所承载的厚重主题相得益彰,共同构建了一个既宏大又极其私密的精神世界,让人在阅读结束后,依然能清晰地感受到那份文字带来的回响。
评分这本书在氛围营造上的功力,简直达到了令人惊叹的地步。你仿佛能闻到那种带着泥土和风干草药味道的气息,能听到远方传来的悠长号角声,甚至能感受到脚下土地的微微颤抖。 整体的基调是压抑而深沉的,但在这深沉之中,又时不时地闪现出一种近乎野性的生命力。作者对环境的描绘极其生动,大自然不再仅仅是背景板,它本身就是一种无声的参与者,见证着一切的发生与消逝。 这种环境与人物命运的紧密交织,让阅读体验变得异常立体和沉浸。它不是简单地告诉你“发生了什么”,而是让你“身临其境”地去感受“正在发生什么”。 这种对环境细节的执着,无疑是赋予了整部作品一种近乎神性的庄严感,让人在阅读时,产生了一种对逝去时光的深深敬畏。
评分我必须承认,这本书的结构是极其大胆和创新的,它完全没有遵循传统小说的线性叙事模式。 章节之间的跳跃感很强,时空错位的手法运用得炉火纯青,这无疑对读者的专注力提出了更高的要求。 你得时刻准备好迎接来自不同时间点的讯息,并将它们在大脑中重新排序和链接。起初可能会感到有些吃力,仿佛在拼凑一个残缺的古老地图,但一旦找到了那个关键的“密钥”,整个世界的轮廓便豁然开朗。 这种非线性的叙事,恰恰服务于主题本身——记忆的碎片化和历史的断裂感。它没有试图提供一个整洁的答案,而是将探寻真相的责任部分地交还给了读者,这种互动感让人在合上书本后,依然久久不能平静。
评分我觉得结尾说的很有意思:我们不能允许自己被屠杀两次:肉体上被枪炮打败一次,再被描写成受害者,让人一提到印第安人就想到受害的历史而不是多元的文化,这无异于用笔再把我们屠杀了一次。
