Red on red : Native American literary separatism
"In this unconventional and humorous book, Craig S. Womack challenges the usefulness of analyzing Native literature with the methods currently dominant in the academy. He creates a dialogue between essays on Native literature and fictional letters from Creek characters who comment on the essays. Through this conceit, Womack demonstrates an alternative approach to American Indian literature, with the letters serving as a "Creek chorus" that offers answers to the questions raised in his more traditional essays. Topics range from a comparison of contemporary oral versions of creek stories and the translations of those stories dating back to the early twentieth century, to a queer reading of Cherokee author Lynn Riggs's play The Cherokee Night."--Publisher's description
