The proposed book examines Cherokee Nation’s religious printing and print culture during a time of US imperial expansion. Between 1821 and 1861, Cherokees manufactured millions of pages of printed media. Yet little focus has been given to the Protestant pamphlets (tracts, hymnbooks, and parts of the Bible) that constituted most of their imprints. Mobilizing textual and material evidence, the book asks how the Cherokees’ theorization and uses of Christian printing changed over time in response to political and geographic circumstances. It argues that Cherokees used Christian print media to make political arguments and negotiate relations to their land. They did so through not only media’s textual content but also their materiality. Primarily a work of American religious history within the context of my home discipline of religious studies, the project also aims to contribute to literature, Native American and Indigenous studies, the history of the book, and bibliography.
