This Companion chronicles and celebrates that trajectory by defining relevant institutional, historical, cultural, and gender contexts, by outlining the variety of genres written since the 1770s, and also by focusing on significant authors who established a place for Native literature in literary canons in the 1970s (Momaday, Silko, Welch, Ortiz, Vizenor), achieved international recognition in the 1980s (Erdrich), and performance-celebrity status in the 1990s (Harjo and Alexie). In addition to the seventeen chapters written by respected experts - Native and non-Native; American, British and European scholars - the Companion includes bio-bibliographies of forty authors, maps, suggestions for further reading, and a timeline which details major works of Native American literature and mainstream American literature, as well as significant social, cultural and historical events. An essential overview of this powerful literature. 410 0$aCambridge companions to literature. 606 $aAmerican literature$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIndians of North America$xIntellectual life 606 $aIndians in literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xIndian authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aIndians in literature. 676 $a810.9/897 702 $aPorter$b Joy$f1967- 702 $aRoemer$b Kenneth M.$f1945- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996216691103316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to Native American literature$92373511 997 $aUNISA
