The Legacy of D'Arcy McNickle: Writer, Historian, Activist

by John Lloyd Purdy (Editor)

McNickle, a Native American writer, historian, and political activist from the 1930s through the 1970s is only now beginning to attract attention for his skillful blending of oral tradition and literature, and his visionary search for identity. Eleven selected essays respond to his three major novels and to the elements of political, cultural, and literary commentary that each contains. The editor provides a particularly lucid introduction, and an annotated bibliography of McNickle's articles and reviews is included. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
