Review
Gunn Allen submerges deep in the waters of history and returns bearing words and legends of the past. --Gabrielle Shaw, Foreword
"Allen is a pathfinder. . . . As significant as any who have come before." --Quannah Karvar, The Los Angeles Times Book Review "She expands the academic discussion with personal accounts of her life experiences as a mixed-blood Laguna Indian/Lebanese American. . . . Creative, imaginative, yet well-argued." --P. Jane Hafen, MultiCultural Review "Intelligent critique from a renegade spirit who can inspire us all to see what the global prospects are 'off the reservation.'" --Philip Herbst, BooklistAbout the Author

DESCRIPTION - Off the Reservation gives us the best of Allen's political essays, literary criticism, and personal reflections. In section one, 'Haggles/gynosophies' (haggles being a persuasive speech in which a hag engages), Allen offers powerful critiques of the Western social constructs of proprietorship, literacy, individualism, and 'rape culture' contrasted with the communal and spiritual connection to the earth that characterizes native societies. 'Wyrds/orthographies' presents some of the best analysis of Native American literature of the late twentieth century, including the work of N. Scott Momaday, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Mary Tallmountain. inventory #26022. Seller Inventory # z26022
