This article examines the concept of archipelagic thinking and its application to the study of Alaska. It discusses the observations of John Muir in Alaska's Alexander Archipelago and how they align with contemporary archipelagic thought. The article acknowledges Muir's racism and colonialism, complicating his work and its relationship to decolonization. The author argues for a reorientation of Alaska's history and literature towards a more archipelagic and Indigenous understanding. The article compares Muir's writings to the memoir of Nick Golodoff, an Indigenous writer, to highlight the intersecting environmental engagement and resistance to colonialism in Alaska. The author concludes that both Muir and Golodoff's attunement to Alaska's ecological poetics can contribute to decolonial and environmental scholarship. [Extracted from the article] |
