"This book offers a great deal to experts on contemporary Native art, as well as to scholars of global modern and contemporary arts who seek to learn more about this vibrant subdiscipline. With language that is both eloquent and accessible, Shifting Grounds is a significant contribution to art history in general, and Native American contemporary art criticism in particular."

"Shifting Grounds releases the colonial capture of Indigenous land in the Americas from a central ideological tenet in the field of art history, the genre of landscape art. Launching from ground zero canonical works by W. J. T. Mitchell and Rosalind Krauss, Kate Morris remaps land in the Americas from an Indigenous visual, epistemological, and political perspective."
