Cogently argued and well-researched, Tribal Theory in Native American Literature sets an agenda for indigenous literary criticism and invites scholars to confront the worlds behind the literatures that they analyze Notes This book attempts to show how we might use tribal knowledges as theoretical frameworks for reading Native American texts Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 147-158) and index Notes Print version record SUBJECT Eastman, Charles Alexander. swd Subject American literature -- Indian authors -- History and criticism -- Theory, etc Knowledge, Theory of, in literature.
