Novelist, autobiographer, poet, dramatist, essayist, and cultural
critic of rare and radical boldness, Gerald Vizenor has long stood
at the very forefront of Native writing. His challenges to received
thinking, along with signature phrases like postindian, survivance,
storier, double-other, and terminal creed, have uniquely influenced
the discourse of Native life and art. This essay collection offers
an overview of Vizenor scholarship through close reading of his
texts and exploration of the intellectual contexts in which they
are situated. Vizenor's achievements cannot be easily summarized;
rather, this book gives due evidence of the complexity of his work
and the diverse critical responses to it. The book comprises close
textual readings of Vizenor's writing as well as comparative
readings that place Vizenor's achievement in various theoretical,
cultural, and historical contexts as well as the context of fellow
Native writers. The final section makes available the full text of
the ratified Constitution of the White Earth Nation of which
Vizenor was the lead writer, an essay by Vizenor about the
significance and provenance of the Constitution, and a new
interview by A. Robert Lee, bringing the collection to Vizenor's
most recent writing and his thoughts about his future projects.
