A critically discerning collection that is sure to be resourceful for many years."—Choice“This important collection brings together in one volume the current theoretical thinking, literary analysis, and ethnopoetic practices of eleven different contemporary scholars of Native American literature, culture, and verbal art. . . . This volume sets the question of representation in an ethnopoetics context that focuses on the textual dynamics of works by and about Native verbal arts and cultures, providing rich avenues for exploring issues of postcoloniality, Native identities, subversive textual strategies, and productive intercultural efforts at collaboration.”—Maureen Salzer, North Dakota Quarterly
