Colonial theorists often focus on binary dynamics of resistance or absorption – ignoring dialogic exchanges that negotiated the contact zone. But the bicultural autobiographies of William Apess and Charles Eastman, and the autobiographical collaborations of Black Elk with John Neihardt, and Mary Crow Dog with Richard Erdoes, have a dialogic nexus of exchange between narrators, editors, translators, audience, temporalities, genres and conventions; between Native and white, individual and community, subject and object, past and present, linear and cyclical time. As hybrid constructions, these intralinguistic autobiographies offered a multi-cultural vision beyond the rhetoric of melting pot or mosaic. Within a literary form that was traditionally monocultural, Native autobiographers expressed a relational, intersubjective individuality, and wove together Native and white literary traditions into transcultural documents. They used dialogic strategies against colonial dialectics, and crafted a hybrid borderland of resistance and freedom where possible worlds and multiple voices co-exist.
