The People Named the Chippewa Gerald Vizenor |
|
|
Ranging in time and space from Madeline Island and the reservations of northern Minnesota to the urban reservation of Minneapolis-St. Paul, Vizenor recounts the experiences of the Chippewa and their encounters with the white people who "named" them. "Through some very funny moments, Vizenor raises serious questions for the pan-Indian movements and 'radical' academics. A teacher and scholar wishing to avoid and to correct the mistakes of twentieth-century scholarship in discussing 'Indians,' 'Native Americans' or 'Amerindians' would do well to begin with these stories; they are the strength of the Anishinaabeg." —World Literature Today Gerald Vizenor is the author of Interior Landscapes (1990), Griever (1990), Bearheart (1990), and Bear Island (2006). 173 pages | 28 black and white photos 1 map | 1984 |
