| Summary |
"Simon J. Ortiz is widely regarded as one of the literary giants of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries with more than two-dozen volumes of poetry, prose fiction, children's literature, and nonfiction work to his credit. This edited volume is devoted to the depth and range of Ortiz's contribution to contemporary Native American literature and literary scholarship." "Including interviews with Ortiz, short creative nonfiction essays by Native writers and scholars, and innovative critical discussions by a dozen scholars of Native literatures, the volume shows Ortiz's role in the development of cultural studies and Native American literatures on a number of fronts, garnering tribal, regional, national, hemispheric, and global levels of awareness and appreciation."--Jacket. |
