Written by a team of noted Native and non-Native scholars, these essays consider the complex social and political influences that have shaped American Indian literatures in the second half of the twentieth century, with particular emphasis on core themes of identity, sovereignty, and land. In his essay comprising part I of the volume, Eric Cheyfitz argues persuasively for the necessary conjunction of Indian literatures and federal Indian law from Apess to Alexie. Part II is a comprehensive survey of five genres of literature: fiction (Arnold Krupat and Michael Elliott), poetry (Kimberly Blaeser), drama (Shari Huhndorf), nonfiction (David Murray), and autobiography (Kendall Johnson), and discusses the work of Vine Deloria Jr., N. Scott Momaday, Joy Harjo, Simon Ortiz, Louise Erdrich, Leslie Marmon Silko, Gerald Vizenor, Jimmy Santiago Baca, and Sherman Alexie, among many others. Drawing on historical and theoretical frameworks, the contributors examine how American Indian writers and critics have responded to major developments in American Indian life and how recent trends in Native writing build upon and integrate traditional modes of storytelling. Sure to be considered a groundbreaking contribution to the field, The Columbia Guide to American Indian Literatures of the United States Since 1945 offers both a rich critique of history and a wealth of new information and insight. 410 0$aColumbia guides to literature since 1945. 606 $aAmerican literature$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIndians of North America$xIntellectual life 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) in literature 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aImperialism in literature 606 $aIndians in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aImperialism in literature. 615 0$aIndians in literature. 676 $a810.9897/009045 700 $aCheyfitz$b Eric, 701 $aCheyfitz$b Eric$0451757 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452073703321 996 $aThe Columbia guide to American Indian literatures of the United States since 1945$92485217 997 $aUNINA
