For Those Who Come After seems indeed to be quite a specialized book, a study of texts concerning a marginalized people, texts themselves marginalized (at least until recently) by their exclusion from the canon of American literature traditionally taught in the United States.
Arnold Krupat is a member of the Literature faculty at Sarah Lawrence College.
