Abstrakt

Artykuł ukazuje artystyczną, naukową i aktywistyczną działalność Margo Tamez jako dekolonialną praktykę „ukazywania prawdy”. Ma ona na celu demontaż współczesnych dyskursów narodowych w USA dotyczących obrony granic i ich mieszkańców, ukazując je jako przykład retorycznego imperializmu, który legitymizuje ucisk rdzennych ludności w imię bezpieczeństwa i suwerenności kraju. Praca Tamez, czy to w formie tekstu pisanego, słowa mówionego, czy performansu, powinna być postrzegana jako przykład retoryki przetrwania demaskującej i kontestującej mechanizmy wymazywania obecności plemienia Apaczów Lipan zarówno z granic, jak i historii narodu amerykańskiego.
