摘要

摘要:William Apess的《印第安人的无效化》(1835)采用了各种形式的无效化,这些无效化来源于当代政治、世俗历史和犹太-基督教传统,作为主权集体表达的一部分,旨在为Mashpee Wampanoags(字面和象征意义上)赢得一席之地。这篇文章认为,对Apess来说,废除是一种变革性的做法,可以在没有条约的情况下用来阐明Mashpees的政治和宗教主张,并为他们利用新的政治可能性,部分是通过援引1780年《马萨诸塞州宪法》。提到无效也使他能够将马什皮人的处境从地方关注转变为国家甚至末世论的重要性。无效化为回应新英格兰媒体对Mashpees的描述提供了一条途径,在这些描述中,他们的处境被用作一个场合,甚至是一种工具,用来解决许多美国白人关心的问题,例如种族混杂(用这个时代常见的术语)和日益加剧的地区紧张局势。文章最后简要地将Apess的论点与Mashpee Wampanoags最近为获得联邦承认和维护其领土主张所做的努力联系起来。

William Apess's Indian Nullification: Narrating Mashpee Wampanoag Sovereignty in Nineteenth-Century America and Beyond
Abstract:William Apess's Indian Nullification (1835) engages various forms of nullification, drawn from contemporary politics, secular history, and Judeo-Christian tradition, as part of a collective expression of sovereignty meant to gain ground (literally and figuratively) for the Mashpee Wampanoags. This essay argues that, for Apess, nullification emerges as a transformative practice that can be used in the absence of treaties to articulate the Mashpees' political and religious claims and leverage new political possibilities for them, in part through its invocation of the 1780 Massachusetts Constitution. References to nullification also allow him to transform and elevate the Mashpees' situation from one of local concern to national and even eschatological importance. Nullification provides an avenue to respond to characterizations of Mashpees that circulated in the New England press in which their situation was used as an occasion, or even a vehicle, for working through issues of concern for many white Americans, such as miscegenation (to use a term common in the era) and growing sectional tensions. The essay concludes by briefly connecting Apess's arguments with the Mashpee Wampanoags' more recent efforts to gain federal recognition and assert their territorial claims.
