Abstract
In her novel Almanac of the Dead, indigenous writer Leslie Marmon Silko implements transcultural strategies to assess the transnationality and transhistoricity of culture and politics in North America. Her project tears down barriers between cultural groups within and beyond the national borders of the U.S. and Mexico, and prophesizes the rise of internationalism as an essential political tool to rightfully question the value and lawfulness of the afore-mentioned nation states which are presented in the novel as the main protagonists in the physical, cultural and economic demise of their cultural communities (both indigenous and non-indigenous).
