Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Splendid translations . . . Tedlock has represented pauses in the Zuni with line and strophe breaks, and degrees of pitch and intensity with a handful of standard typographic devices. The text that results is one that we recognize, of course, as poetry scored for voicing; but we also recognize--and this is the kingpin--that an oral tradition has emerged in its own proper character."--"The Nation"

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good intro into the mind and culture of the Zuni.,
By ritzguy@myspaceonline.com (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Finding the Center: Narrative Poetry of the Zuni Indians (Paperback)
I first read this book while taking an introductory anthropology course at Cleveland State. Jim Frank was my teacher and this course and this book in particular started me down the road in seeking knowledge in the area of the social sciences. This book is an excellent starter for someone who knows very little about the native cultures of our great land.
