Produktbeschreibung

The authors discussed in this book, including James Fenimore Cooper, William Faulkner, Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, and Leslie Marmon Silko, place this cross-cultural contact in nature, not only collapsing cultural and racial boundaries, but also complicating divisions between 'wilderness' and 'civilization.'

Rezensionen

"Smith s work is important as a new way to view Native American literature through the prism of earlier American literature. Smith s tactic of looking at very different authors from a single perspective is a novel approach and challenges much traditional scholarship. The research is timely and challenging." - Gretchen Bataille, President and Professor of English, University of North Texas
