Product Description
This collection of stories is a mix of historical and contemporary fictions. The historical stories provide a background for the contemporary stories, so that the entire collection becomes a loose chronicle of the Native American experience since the European settlement of North America. A wide range of tribes is represented--Powhatan, Cherokee, Creek, Comanche, Lakota, Navajo, Ute, Keres, Ácoma, Zuni, and an unnamed southern California tribe. Each story highlights some individual s quandary--and often alienation--in negotiating and adapting to a face-to-face encounter with the whites. ... Read more

Product Description
This book follows the interaction of "double-voicing" and "double-consciousness" in Native American literary history. It begins with the surviving records from the time of colonial contact and ends with works by Leslie Marmon Silko and Thomas King, two contemporary authors of the Native American Literary Renaissance. "Double-voicing" is a common feature found in many works preserved by early anthro­pologists from various Native American oral traditions. However, after colonial contact this feature largely disappears from literary works written by Native American authors, when it is replaced by the societal condition "double-consciousness." With the revitalization of cultural knowledge in the mid-twentieth-century, Native authors also revitalize their rhetorical techniques in their writing and the "double-voice" feature re-emerges coupled with a bicultural awareness that is carried over from "double-consciousness." ...
