The complaints of some Indigenous writers, the critique from Indigenous nationalist critics, and the changing of academic fashion have resulted in few new studies on the trickster. For example, The Cambridge Companion to Native American Literature (2005), includes only a brief mention of the trickster, with skeptical commentary. And, in 2007, Anishinaabe scholar Niigonwedom Sinclair (a contributor to this volume) called for a moratorium on studies of the trickster irrelevant to the specific experiences and interests of Indigenous nations. One of the objectives of this anthology is, then, to encourage scholarship that is mindful of the critic?s responsibility to communities, and to focus discussions on incarnations of tricksters in their particular national contexts. The contribution of Troubling Tricksters, therefore, is twofold: to offer a timely counterbalance to this growing critical lacuna, and to propose new approaches to trickster studies, approaches that have been clearly influenced by the nationalists? call for cultural and historical specificity.Indigenous studies series.TrickstersNorth AmericaTricksters in literatureFolk literature, IndianNorth AmericaHistory and criticismIndians of North AmericaFolkloreIndians of North AmericaSocial life and customsElectronic books.TrickstersTricksters in literature.Folk literature, IndianHistory and criticism.Indians of North AmericaIndians of North AmericaSocial life and customs.398.2089/97Morra Linda M868804Reder Deanna1963-868805MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459929903321Troubling tricksters1939515UNINA
