Rewriting History, Post-Coloniality and Feminism: Lee Maracle's Autobiographical Works
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Lee Maracle’s I Am Woman (1988) and Bobbi Lee. Indian Rebel \n(1990) are autobiographical works that rewrite the conventions of representing \nthe Native in the context of Canadian history and society. \nThrough her autobiographical “I”, Maracle narrates herself as \npoliticalrepresentative for women and for the Métis. \nThis essay aims to investigate Maracle’s political displacement of \nconventional representational practices. The importance of IAW&BLIR \nto revisionary historiography is that both works document the struggle \nof Natives today within a history of resistance. Writing from a position \nof “cultural siege”, “under occupation”, Maracle analyzes her position \nas a Native woman within an active struggle of decolonialization. Hers \nis a new history and historiography different from both white writing \non the Native and traditional Native “historical”, oral narratives. It is \nthe history of struggle in the 1960s and 1970s in a hybrid narrative \nmode. As we shall argue, this is history as narrating, as telling, in traditional \nnative fashion, but within recognizable dates and events and the \nconventions of “colonial” history.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
