Explores the interplay between artistic values and social,
political, and moral concerns in writings by African American and
Native American women.Bringing together criticism on both African
American and Native American women writers, this book offers fresh
perspectives on art and beauty, truth, justice, community, and the
making of a good and happy life. The essays draw on
interdisciplinary, feminist, and comparative methods in the works
of writers such as Toni Morrison, Leslie Silko, Alice Walker, Linda
Hogan, Paula Gunn Allen, Luci Tapahonso, Phillis Wheatley, and
Sherley Anne Williams, making them more accessible for critical
consideration in the fields of aesthetics, philosophy, and critical
theory. The contributors formulate unique frameworks for
interpreting the multiple levels of complex, cultural play between
Native American and African American women writers in America, and
pave the way for innovative hermeneutic possibilities for
reassessing writers of both traditions.Contributors include Christa
Davis Acampora, Michael A. Antonucci, Ellen L. Arnold, Angela L.
Cotten, Barbara Helen-Hill, AnaLouise Keating, Noelle Morrissette,
Margot Reynolds, Maggie Romigh, Barbara S. Tracy, and Elizabeth J.
