Editorial Review Product Description This challenging study analyzes nearly forty superb stories, from mythic narratives predating Columbus to contemporary American Indian fiction, representing every traditional Native American culture area. Developing recent ethnopoetic scholarship and drawing on the critical ideas of Mikhail Bakhtin and Pierre Bourdieu, Karl Kroeber reveals how preconceptions deriving from our hypervisual, print-dominated culture distort our understanding of essential functions and forms of oral storytelling. Kroeber demonstrates that myths do not merely preserve tradition but may transform it by performatively reenacting the concealed sociological and psychological conflicts that give rise to social institutions. Showing how the variability of mythic narrative fosters communal self-renewal, Kroeber offers startling insight into Native Americans’ perception of animals as “cultured,” their creation of visually unrepresentable tricksters by aural imagining, and the rhetorical means through which oral narratives may not only reflect but even redirect political change. By making understandable the forgotten artistry of oral storytelling, Kroeber enables modern readers to appreciate fully the tragic emotions, hilarious ribaldry, and haunting beauty in these astonishing Native American mythic narratives. |

Editorial Review Product Description Here's all the Native American myths and legends--presented in a single volume! Spanning the vast land mass from the inhospitable Arctic ice flows in the north to the warm Caribbean sands and tropical Amazon rain forest, to the harsh, windswept Tierra del Fuego in the south, the lore of the inhabitants is as rich and varied as the landscapes they inhabit. In over 1,500 detailed entries, from the mysterious Mayan god Ab Kin Xoc to Zuyua (also Mayan), from the Pawnee fertility ritual known as Hako to the origins of the Alaskan Inuit (or "genuine people"), you'll find it all. People, places, artifacts, and a wealth of historical treasures present a fully dimensional view of these ancient traditions, as well as the cultures from which they came. Pick up this fascinating "dictionary-style" reference to look up the meaning of Aba, and you're not likely to put it down until you reach the Z's.304 pages, 6 x 9 1/4. |
