Sur les routes de « l’Amérique française » : métissage et auto-autochtonisation discursive dans Volkswagen Blues de Jacques Poulin. Revue d’études autochtones, 53(1), 57–67. https://doi.org/10.7202/1113181arhttps://doi.org/10.7202/1113181arhttps://hdl.handle.net/1828/22928This article examines discursive and narrative strategies of métissage and self-indigenization in Volkswagen Blues, a transculturalist novel published in 1984 by Quebecois writer Jacques Poulin. Claims to indigeneity and métissage in the novels do not appear directly, but through the myth of French America; settler colonialism is concealed, Indigenous peoples are relegated to a prehistoric past, and French settler past is implicitly foregrounded as the origin of North America.frAttribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 InternationalArticleSchool of Languages, Linguistics and Cultures
