Customer Reviews

brilliant and useful

This excellent book should be included in all "American" literature courses. Art and music and story telling, as well as traditional ceremony are elements in the incredibly diverse fabric of Native American literature. Of course a book of this length can hardly investigate specific Native American nations, but this is still a valuable work, by a brilliant and courageous scholar. White eurocentric paradigms may continue to make the classroom a very dull place, but a book like this can enliven it, and should be allowed to do so.
