Off the Reservation: Relfections on Boundary-Busting Border-Crossing Loose Cannons

By Paula Gunn Allen

Book Overview

In this captivating collection of unpublished and published essays, one of our most important scholars, Paula Gunn Allen, explores the symbiotic relationship between Native American culture and the larger Western world. Through her own history and that of other Native peoples, she searches for a connection that will link the eco-spiritual and implicitly multicultural heritage to the demands of an increasingly global and culturally unilateral community.

Evolution and Beauty

The book showcases an important American voice highly relevant to today's world. As an outsider looking into Gunn's world, I find her lyric facinating and her style casual while informative. I recommend this book to anyone wanting to explore a personal evolution in a seldom seen world. Her voice is poignant, elegant, and expressive. Open the first page, and your journey will begin.
