Welburn, University of Massachusetts Amherst in CHOICE”Another invigorating aspect of several essays in the collection is the manner in which they reveal a wealth of complexity and diversity within the literature and the attendant literary criticism. As a body, these entries reflect on a great number of the opinions, traditions and debates found in Indian Country. The effect is to offer the readera rich and dynamic consideration of the nuances that exist within the field as a whole.” – Wasafiri, 32:2 About the Author Deborah L.
