The book comes at a time when the most influential national media have focused attention on the subject of the literary canon. They have made it an issue not merely of academic but of general public concern, expressing strong opinions on the subject of what the American student should or should not read as essential or core texts. Is the literary canon simply a given of tradition and history, or is it, and must it be, constantly under construction? The question remains hotly contested to the present moment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Arnold Krupat argues that the literary expression of the indigenous peoples of the United States has claims on us to more than marginal attention. Demonstrating a firm grasp of both literary history and contemporary critical theory, he situates Indian literature, traditional and modern, in a variety of contexts and categories. His extensive knowledge of the history and current theory of ethnography recommends the book to anthropologists and folklorists as well as to students and teachers of literature, both canonical and noncanonical. The materials covered, the perspectives considered, and the learning displayed all make \u003ci\u003eThe Voice in the Margin\u003c\/i\u003e a major contribution to the exciting field of contemporary cultural studies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact.

His dialectically rigorous work will help set the parameters for any future discussion of Native American texts and their relation to questions of canon formation, identity creation, 'the Collective (non-schizophrenic) subject, ' and cultural resistance.--José David Saldívar, University of California, Santa Cruz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArnold Krupat\u003c\/b\u003e is on the Literature Faculty of Sarah Lawrence College, and has written extensively on Native American literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 15, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51750739280160,"sku":"9780520365278","price":171.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/18f15ddfc77abe06ca7288a36dde63fc.webp?v=1779957153","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-voice-in-the-margin-native-american-literature-and-the-canon-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
