Description
Leading scholars critically explore three leading novels by Louise Erdrich, one of the most important and popular Native American writers working today.
Reviews
Deborah Madsen is one of the leading scholars of Native American literature in Europe. She has assembled a talented group of scholars to analyze three important novels by Louise Erdrich (the early Tracks and the recent Last Report and Plague of Doves). Erdrich is one of the best-known Native writers working today, and these essays, employing methodologies ranging from gender and LGBT studies to critical race theory represent an important contribution to scholarship about her. It deserves a place on the shelf of any serious scholar of contemporary Native literature. -- Jace Weaver, Franklin Professor of Native American Studies, University of Georgia, USA
...Each of the ten essays offers a fresh perspective on Edrich's work,and taken together they illustrate the depth of Edrich's oeuvre and the evolution of her writing over a 20-year period.'Choice Magazine
