Sommario/riassunto

This volume makes available the entire autobiographical account of an Apache man as a database for the subsequent narrative analyses. The



life story reveals an individual who has experienced radical social changes, and his account provides clues for his struggles to make sense of what has happened to him as well as his attempts to prevent his life from falling apart.
