Opis

Provocative and nuanced, these essays, newly written for this anthology, offer fresh perspectives on Aboriginal literatures today. ""Across Cultures/Across Borders"" is a collection of new critical essays, interviews, and writings by twenty-five established and emerging Canadian Aboriginal and Native American scholars and creative writers across Turtle Island (North America). Together, these original works illustrate the diverse but interconnecting knowledges of today's Aboriginal scholars and creative writers. The writings represent another step in a trajectory of intellectual and creative voices that offer powerfully relevant observations on Aboriginal and Native American literature and life. It is the only reader to cover Aboriginal/Native American literary criticism across North America. It includes all new pieces unpublished elsewhere. It includes a mixture of critical voices: traditional academic writing, memoir, drama, poetry. It addresses issues of form, genre, and linguistics.
