Reviews

[Grant Morgan · Rating 4 out of 5]

There were quite a few gems in here. I especially enjoyed the first section and the second half of the last section (i.e. anti-image). That being said, it's not the best anthology out there, and there were a lot of texts that it could have done without.

I read this for school, and it was certainly interesting. I have definitely learned alot more about Native American culture and stories.
