This review is from: American Indian Women: Telling Their Lives (Hardcover)
AMERICAN INDIAN WOMEN Telling Their Lives: the book is divided into three parts1. Chapters 1 and 2. Excellent explanation of problems and bias in writing on this topic. The authors brings out many of the problems with collecting and documenting narrative texts of this type if it is even possible in some narratives. Note read carefully and slowly for understanding. 2. Different selected native women's stories chapters 3 to 7. I listed the titles for you below enjoy chapter- 3. Maria Chona: An Independent Woman in Traditional Culture chapter- 4. Culture Change and Continuity: A Winnebago Life chapter- 5. Two Women in Transition: Separate Perspectives chapter- 6. The Long Road Back: Maria Campbell chapter- 7. Traditional Values in Modern Context: The Narratives to Come 3. Notes and Selected Bibliography is a very excellent part of this book. The Notes section is eleven pages long page 143 to 154. The Selected Bibliography section is excellent spanning from pages 155 to page 206. This section is divided into five part listed below. - American Indian Women's Autobiographies - Biographies of American Indian Women - Ethnographic and Historical Studies - Contemporary Literature and Criticism - Additional Articles and Books about American Indian Woman The index is three pages long. I rate the book 5 stars: for not just bring you to narratives, but how they are collected and huge section of other books on the topic. -Christopher |
