Description

Here First: Autobiographical Essays by Native American Writers is an important new collection of essays by Native American writers compiled by Arnold Krupat and Brian Swan. In Here First, authors such as Sherman Alexie, Greg Sarris, and Elizabeth Woody tell the stories of their lives and their art. Each essay demonstrates the breadth of experience of twenty-seven individuals united in the creative expression of a Native American heritage. Each has a different relation to that heritage, and in describing it through personal and family history, with verse and in anecdotes, the writers give a strong image of the different cultures that have shaped them. This is living history and the kind of collective memoir that makes for fascinating and rewarding reading|one of the most vivid and diverse portraits of Native American culture available today.
