About
Julianne Newmark’s scholarship bridges Indigenous literary studies, science fiction, and environmental humanities, with a focus on how Native narratives reimagine futurity and sovereignty. Her most-cited work, a 2013 review of Grace L. Dillon’s *Walking the Clouds: An Anthology of Indigenous Science Fiction*, has garnered 2 citations—a modest count that belies its critical role in introducing scholars to the burgeoning field of Indigenous futurisms. In this review, Newmark illuminates how Dillon’s anthology challenges colonial temporalities by centering Indigenous perspectives on technology, ecology, and survival. Her contribution lies in framing these texts not as mere genre fiction but as vital interventions in decolonial thought, where storytelling becomes a tool for cultural resurgence. Newmark’s analysis underscores the anthology’s power to expand the boundaries of both Native studies and speculative fiction, offering a roadmap for reading Indigenous science fiction as a site of resistance and renewal. While her citation numbers are early-stage, her work signals a growing recognition of the need to diversify speculative genres. For students and researchers, Newmark’s scholarship serves as a gateway to understanding how Indigenous authors reclaim the future—one story at a time.
