The second volume of the first in-depth study of a range of literature written by Native Americans who attended government-run boarding schools.After a theoretical and historical introduction to American Indian boarding-school literature, Changed Forever, Volume II examines the autobiographical writings of a number of Native Americans who attended the federal Indian boarding schools. Considering a wide range of tribal writers, some of them well known-like Charles Eastman, Luther Standing Bear, and Zitkala-Sa-but most of them little known-like Walter Littlemoon, Adam Fortunate Eagle, Reuben Snake, and Edna Manitowabi, among others-the book offers the first wide-ranging assessment of their texts and their thoughts about their experiences at the schools.

"…Krupat's Changed Forever has established a place of significance in any collection that seeks to explore knowledge, reconciliation, and the stories of boarding school histories." — Western American Literature"Krupat's volumes, almost needless to say, constitute a vital contribution to resuscitating 'the thousands of Indian voices who spoke the breath of boarding-school life.'" — American Indian QuarterlyPraise for Changed Forever, Volume I"Both Krupat's introduction and his analyses throughout show an impressive mastery of the field … Krupat's analytical skills truly shine … I found Changed Forever both refreshing and challenging. Highly recommended." — John Gram, author of Education at the Edge of Empire: Negotiating Pueblo Identity in New Mexico's Indian Boarding Schools
