Recenzje

Unscripted America is a necessary and timely celebration of Native American linguistic contributions to American literature, history, and creative spirit. Sarah Rivett's insightful analysis is a sensitive and thought-provoking exploration of linguistic encounters between America's First Nations of the Northeast and colonial/settler societies. Rivett deftly shares with readers the importance of understanding North America's complicated literary and linguistic past so that we may recognize how deeply Native America continues to contribute to America's literary and linguistic imaginaries.
