eng	Red Rage in Sherman Alexie's Indian Killer	This article provides a brief analysis of Sherman Alexie’s novel Indian Killer (1996). This work is unique in the way it reflects Native Americans. They are not portrayed as merely the victims of horrific crimes that remain unanswered. On the contrary, the decades of hardships that Indians suffered have resulted in a “red rage” – a bloodthirsty response by Native Americans to racism, violence and oppression. To highlight Alexie’s Indian Killer as a groundbreaking piece of literary work, this article also presents a brief history of Native American literature.
