Description: "Native American Literature considers a selection of post-war novels by Native American writers, including well known, canonical works such as Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony, as well as lesser known but equally enjoyable texts, such as Janet Campbell Hale's The Jailing of Cecelia Capture and Linda Hogan's Solar Storms. Believing in the possibility of communicating across cultural boundaries, Native American Literature offers a series of readings that focus on the act of understanding imaginatively texts by Native American and mixed-blood authors that address and educate a global readership."--Jacket.
