The essays draw on interdisciplinary, feminist, and comparative methods in the works of writers such as Toni Morrison, Leslie Silko, Alice Walker, Linda Hogan, Paula Gunn Allen, Luci Tapahonso, Phillis Wheatley, and Sherley Anne Williams, making them more accessible for critical consideration in the fields of aesthetics, philosophy, and critical theory. The contributors formulate unique frameworks for interpreting the multiple levels of complex, cultural play between Native American and African American women writers in America, and pave the way for innovative hermeneutic possibilities for reassessing writers of both traditions. 606 $aAfrican American women authors$xAesthetics 606 $aAfrican American women in literature 606 $aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFeminism in literature 606 $aIndian women authors$xAesthetics 606 $aIndian women in literature 615 0$aAfrican American women authors$xAesthetics. 615 0$aAfrican American women in literature. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xAfrican American authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFeminism in literature. 615 0$aIndian women authors$xAesthetics. 615 0$aIndian women in literature. 676 $a810.9/928708996073 701 $aAcampora$b Christa Davis$f1967-$01806257 701 $aCotten$b Trystan T.$f1968-$01891885 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910974230003321 996 $aCultural sites of critical insight$94536247 997 $aUNINA
