Manifest Manners - Narratives on Postindian Survivance

Informationen zum Autor Gerald Vizenor has written a new preface for this Bison Books edition of Manifest Manners. A professor of American studies and Native American literature at the University of California, Berkeley, he is the author of more than twenty books, including the American Book Award winner Griever: An American Monkey King in China. Klappentext Gerald Vizenor counters the cultural notions of dominance, false representations, and simulations of absence, and, by documents, experience, and theories, secures a narrative presence of Native Americans. Combines post-modern theory with the comic wisdom of the tribal trickster to explore the effects of nostalgic simulations of "Indian-ness".
