The general focus in Lakota oral literary research has been on content rather than process within oral traditions.

Collectively, the contributors to this book address two critical questions: 1) how does the conception of modern Japan as a culture of translation affect our understanding of Japanese modernity and its relation to the East/West divide? and...
