Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Davis, 2004.

This dissertation defines what it means to be "native" and "exotic" in this context of displacement and redress, using "the return of the native," or what one might call a return narrative, as the focal point for a series of questions about the relationship between identity, topography and land rights. The revitalization of an irradiated landscape, or of a language that has fallen into disuse, opens up an array of possibilities, including violent conflict, reservation containment, resistance to oppression, restitution, justice, and healing, none of which can be dismissed as nostalgia alone. The project identifies the hidden violence of some restoration movements, and locates those narratives that can serve as models for a healing response to cultural trauma. The ecological return narrative of Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac, for example, rests on a series of political assumptions about land rights and native identity that a parallel reading of Leslie Marmon Silko's Gardens in the Dunes, and J. M. Coetzee's The Life and Times of Michael K, both contests and clarifies. The project covers cultural return narratives, ecological restoration narratives, biological invasion narratives, toxic narratives and utopian return and restoration narratives.
