Description
"... creates a new definition of American Indian literary texts as a self-representational genre. This is an intelligent and insightful application of post-modern critical methods to American Indian texts. The scope of the study is broad and ambitious, and the attempt to define Indian self-representations from colonial times to the present is innovative and instructive." ―Raymond J. DeMallie"... very suggestive, provocative, engaging... ―Studies in American Indian Literatures"... Murray's book establishes itself as the single best introduction to Native American text-making in particular and the betrayals of the translation in general. An essential acquisition for all college and university libraries, and highly recommended for larger public libraries." ―Choice"It is a pleasure to recommend with wholehearted enthusiasm David Murray's Forked Tongues." ―Western American Literature - from Amzon
