Back to the Blanket

Explores the possibilities that Native Ameriucan notions of relatedness offer for understanding American Indian knowledge, arguments, and perspectives. This volume analyses an array of American Indian rhetorical traditions, then applies them in readings of writings, speeches, and other forms of communication by historical and present-day figures.

De mii de ani, culturile indiene americane si-au inregistrat adevarurile in naratiuni si metafore ale traditiei orale. Povestile, limbile si artefactele, cum ar fi glifele si desenele, toate poarta cunostinte indigene, contribuind in mod direct la structurile retorice indiene americane care s-au dovedit rezistente - si uneori antitetice - la discursul academic occidental.
