The work of men and women of many tribal affiliations, this collection is a wide-ranging anthology of contemporary Native Canadian literature. Deep emotions and life-shaking crises converge and display the Aboriginal concerns regarding various topics, including identity, family, community, caste, gender, nature, betrayal, and war. A fascinating compilation of stories and plays, this account fosters cross-cultural understanding and presents the Native Canadian writers’ reinvention of traditional material and their invention of a modern life that is authentic. It is perfect for courses on short fiction or general symposium teaching material.
The Exile Book of Native Canadian Fiction and Drama Reviews
-
Awesome cover art by
Norval Morrisseau.
...and I can definitely see where one of my other favorite painters - Frank Polson - adopted much of his style from.
-
A good variety of work, it is worth having this permanently on my bookshelf to reread over again. Varying subjects from Trickster coyote& thunderbirds to pieces on familial, and social issues.
