dbo:abstract
  • Ici n'est plus ici (titre original en anglais : There There) est le premier roman de l'auteur cheyenne et arapaho Tommy Orange. Publié en 2018, il traite de la situation des Autochtones dans les villes des États-Unis. Le roman est nommé dans les trois finalistes du prix Pulitzer de la fiction en 2019 et remporte l'American Book Award la même année. Le titre du roman est inspiré d'une phrase de l'autobiographie de Gertrude Stein (« There is no there there. »), qui, comme Orange, a grandi à Oakland. Il fait le rapprochement entre ce qu'a ressenti Stein en revenant à Oakland, qu'elle ne reconnaît pas tant la ville a changé avec les années, et la perte de leur environnement par les amérindiens. Dans ce roman, Orange fait intervenir douze narrateurs afin de montrer des amérindiens différents les uns des autres. Il entend ainsi lutter contre l'image qu'il qualifie de « monolithique » qu'ils ont dans l'esprit du public. Il montre des Natifs souvent pauvres et en proie à des difficultés, mais aussi citadins, modernes, de différentes générations, loin des braves guerriers du cliché habituel. (fr)

  • We did not move to cities to die. The sidewalks and streets, the concrete absorbed our heaviness. The glass, metal, rubber, and wires, the speed, the hurtling masses — the city took us in. This was part of the Indian Relocation Act, which was part of the Indian Termination Policy, which was and is exactly what it sounds like. Make them look and act like us. Become us. And so disappear. But it wasn't just like that. Plenty of us came by choice, to start over, to make money, or for a new experience. Some of us came to cities to escape the reservation. We stayed . . . (en)
