The dialogue represented in \u003cem\u003eAcross Cultures\/Across Borders\u003c\/em\u003e is impressive and will go far toward remedying this knowledge gap. The editors have assembled a group of some of the best-known scholars and creative writers, such as Simon Ortiz, Tomson Highway, Lee Maracle, and Craig Womack, alongside important up-and-comers such as Daniel Justice, Steven Sexton, and Niigonwedom James Sinclair. This volume sizzles and pops with creative energy.” — Jace Weaver, Professor and Director, Institute of Native American Studies, University of Georgia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“What really stands out in \u003cem\u003eAcross Cultures\/Across Borders\u003c\/em\u003e is a refusal to separate the personal, the political, and the poetic from the academic. The editors are to be congratulated for getting so many excellent writers to engage with what matters most to them, revealing where Aboriginal literary criticism has been and where it will be off to next. Readers will especially value the many pieces that talk about the struggle and delight of working out Aboriginal ways of being in the academy and in the wider literary world.” — Margery Fee, Professor of English, University of British Columbia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This smartly and insightfully gathered collection is thought-provoking, and it provides an important augur of where we are in the development of an approach to Native literary studies that crosses some borders while respecting others. I learned a lot from reading it and recommend it to anyone who is a serious student of US and Canadian Indigenous literatures.” — Robert Warrior (Osage), President, Native American and Indigenous Studies Association\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eWarren Cariou\u003c\/em\u003e, Foreword, “Going to Canada”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eKristina Fagan\u003c\/em\u003e, “Code-Switching Humour in Aboriginal Literature”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSky Dancer Louise Bernice Halfe\u003c\/em\u003e, “\u003cem\u003eTawinikewin\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTomson Highway\u003c\/em\u003e, “The Time Tomson Highway Went to \u003cem\u003eMameek\u003c\/em\u003e and Survived to Tell the Tale”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTomson Highway\u003c\/em\u003e, “The Book that Affected Me the Most”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDaniel Heath Justice\u003c\/em\u003e, “A Relevant Resonance: Considering theStudy of Indigenous National Literatures”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLee Maracle\u003c\/em\u003e, “Toward a National Literature: ‘A Body of Writing’”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLorraine Mayer\u003c\/em\u003e, “Negotiating a Different Terrain: Geographicaland Educational Cross-Border Difficulties”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNeal McLeod\u003c\/em\u003e, “Cree Poetic Discourse”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDuncan Mercredi\u003c\/em\u003e, “\u003cem\u003eWachea\u003c\/em\u003e”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDuncan Mercredi\u003c\/em\u003e, “Writing and Life”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDaniel David Moses\u003c\/em\u003e, “My Grandfather’s Face” (a radio play)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeatrice Mosionier\u003c\/em\u003e, “April, Cheryl, and Me”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSimon Ortiz\u003c\/em\u003e, “Memory, History, and the Present”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeanna Reder\u003c\/em\u003e, “Writing Autobiographically: A Neglected Indigenous Intellectual Tradition”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eArmand Garnet Ruffo\u003c\/em\u003e, “Where the Voice Was Coming From”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eCraig Womack\u003c\/em\u003e, “The Native American Theory Class Room”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eMichael Snyder\u003c\/em\u003e, “From Orion to the Postindian: Vizenor’s Movement Towards Postmodern Theory”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eSteven Sexton\u003c\/em\u003e, “Louis Owens’s Intervention in the World of the Novice Reader: Methodology and Native American Literary Criticism”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNiigonwedom James Sinclair\u003c\/em\u003e, “Tending to Ourselves: Hybridity and Native Literary Criticism”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInterviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eJeannette Armstrong and Hartmut Lutz\u003c\/em\u003e, “A Conversation between Jeannette Armstrong and Hartmut Lutz”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eGreg Sarris and Kelly Burns\u003c\/em\u003e, “Talking Across Borders: An Interview with Greg Sarris”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eGregory Scofield and Tanis MacDonald\u003c\/em\u003e, “Sitting Down to Ceremony: An Interview with Gregory Scofield”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eRichard Van Camp and Junko Muro\u003c\/em\u003e, “Living in a Time for Celebration: An Interview with Richard Van Camp”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadview Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041305723223,"sku":"9781551117263","price":46.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781551117263.jpg?v=1750949740","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/across-cultures-across-borders-canadian-aboriginal-and-native-american-literatures-9781551117263","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
