We Have a Commonalty and a Common Dream: The Indigenous North American Novel in the 1990s (Europaische Hochschulschriften. Reihe V, Volks- Und Betriebs) - Softcover
Born out of the clash between oral traditions and Western literary standards, Native American fiction has grown into a unique and distinct art form. Aboriginal writers merge native and non-native elements and talk to a multicultural audience. Based on six novels published in 1993/94, the author illustrates the individual differences and the common ground existing among contemporary indigenous writers. Their fiction deals with concurrent themes, issues and characters, addressing questions of identity, belonging and 'Nativeness' in the modern world. Presenting heros who move back and forth between the two cultures and create their own individual lifestyles, the novels deconstruct stereotypes and define Native American identity in new ways which reflect the reality of modern indigenous life in North America.
