Wyss, Hilary E.. "Captivity and Christianity: Narrating Christian Indian Identity, 1643-1829," English Department, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, July 1998.
Focusing on New England missionary settlements from 1643-1829, this dissertation links overlooked archival materials written by Native American converts, the writings of better known Native Americans like Samson Occom and William Apess, and the published writings of Anglo-American colonists. I argue that when read together, the texts produced by Native American converts and the more extensive writings of Anglo-Americans reveal the emergence of a dynamic Native American identity through Christianity, and that Native Americans’ active appropriation of New England Protestant Christianity is central to a particularly Native subjectivity that resists the colonial project by using its language against itself.
