This paper suggests that the concepts, internal colony and textual politics, can illuminate the aboriginal literature more deeply and systematically. In this paper the internal colony means the phenomena and the space in which the colonizers who monopolize and the power keep on exploiting and repressing the colonized continuously in a nation by eternalizing its colonization. The term “textual politics” implies that the struggles between the colonizer and the colonized are practiced on the ground of text or discourse. Aboriginal writings have diverse strategies to disturb, subvert, and decenter the (European) colonial discourse. Slash, the first novel written by Canadian aboriginal writer Jeannette Armstrong, mobilizes the narrative of Bildungsroman and romance to show the real history of the aboriginal people hidden in the internal colony and the diverse spots of decolonization. Through the maturing process of the hero Slash, we can visit the vivid fields of the struggle of decolonization. The other representational strategy of the text is realism. Depending on the definitions of G. Lukács’ realism, this paper reads the textual politics of Slash and confirms that its achievement as a novel is based on its realist writing strategy.

Abstract
This paper suggests that the concepts, internal colony and textual politics, can illuminate the aboriginal literature more deeply and systematically. In this paper the internal colony means the phenomena and the space in which the colonizers who monopolize and the power keep on exploiting and repressing the colonized continuously in a nation by eternalizing its colonization. The term “textual politics” implies that the struggles between the colonizer and the colonized are practiced on the ground of text or discourse. Aboriginal writings have diverse strategies to disturb, subvert, and decenter the (European) colonial discourse. Slash, the first novel written by Canadian aboriginal writer Jeannette Armstrong, mobilizes the narrative of Bildungsroman and romance to show the real history of the aboriginal people hidden in the internal colony and the diverse spots of decolonization. Through the maturing process of the hero Slash, we can visit the vivid fields of the struggle of decolonization. The other representational strategy of the text is realism. Depending on the definitions of G. Lukács’ realism, this paper reads the textual politics of Slash and confirms that its achievement as a novel is based on its realist writing strategy.
