Invisible, marginal, expected - these words trace the path of
recognition for American Indian literature written in English since
the late eighteenth century. This Companion chronicles and
celebrates that trajectory by defining relevant institutional,
historical, cultural, and gender contexts, by outlining the variety
of genres written since the 1770s, and also by focusing on
significant authors who established a place for Native literature
in literary canons in the 1970s (Momaday, Silko, Welch, Ortiz,
Vizenor), achieved international recognition in the 1980s
(Erdrich), and performance-celebrity status in the 1990s (Harjo and
Alexie). In addition to the seventeen chapters written by respected
experts - Native and non-Native; American, British and European
scholars - the Companion includes bio-bibliographies of forty
authors, maps, suggestions for further reading, and a timeline
which details major works of Native American literature and
mainstream American literature, as well as significant social,
cultural and historical events. An essential overview of this
powerful literature.
