Native American Survivance, Memory, and Futurity

Gerald Vizenor is arguably the most prolific Native American writer and critic of the past four decades. This volume casts new light on central concepts of trickster poetics, survivance, and transmotion, and explores Vizenor's lasting literary impact from Darkness in St. Louis Bearheart to Blue Ravens and Favor of Crows.
