Notes from a Miner's Canary: Essays on the State of Native America
ISBN: 9780826348746 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The title of this lively collection of Jace Weaver's essays comes from Felix Cohen, the great authority on American Indian law: 'The Indian plays much the same role in our American society that the Jews played in Germany. Like the miner's canary, the Indian marks the shift from fresh air to poisonous gas in our political atmosphere; and our treatment of Indians, even more than our treatment of other minorities, marks the rise and fall of our democratic faith.' But the book goes far beyond the subject of law. The wide range of cultural references shows why the author is considered a leader in...

ISBN: 9780195120370 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Loyalty to the community is the highest value in Native American cultures, argues Jace Weaver. In That the People Might Live, he explores a wide range of Native American literature from 1768 to the present, taking this sense of community as both a starting point and a lens.
Weaver considers some of the best known Native American writers, such as Leslie Marmon Silko, Gerald Vizenor, and Vine Deloria, as well as many others who are receiving critical attention here for the first time. He contends that the single thing that most defines these authors' writings, and makes them... Loyalty to the community is the highest value in Native American cultures, argues Jace Weaver.

Other Words, Volume 39: American Indian Literature, Law, and Culture
ISBN: 9780806133522 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Eloh, a Cherokee word, is usually translated by anthropologists as "religion," but it also simultaneously encompasses history, culture, knowledge, law, and land. In this provocative work, Jace Weaver interlaces these seemingly disparate meanings to form a coherent approach to Native American Studies. In nineteen interrelated chapters, Weaver presents a range of experiences shared by native peoples in the Americas, from the distant past to the uncertain future. He examines Indian creative output, from oral tradition to the postmodern wordplay of Gerald Vizenor, and brings to light...
