Genocide Of The Mind (Nation Books)

Description

After five centuries of Eurocentrism, many people have little idea that Native
American tribes still exist, or which traditions belong to what tribes.
However over the past decade there has been a rising movement to accurately
describe Native cultures and histories. In particular, people have begun to
explore the experience of urban Indians — individuals who live in two worlds
struggling to preserve traditional Native values within the context of an
ever-changing modern society. In Genocide of the Mind, the experience and
determination of these people is recorded in a revealing and compelling
collection of essays that brings the Native American experience into the
twenty-first century. Contributors include: Paula Gunn Allen, Simon Ortiz,
Sherman Alexie, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Maurice Kenny, as well as emerging
writers from different Indian nations. Read more
