Hanover:: Wesleyan University Press / University Press of New England,, (1994). SIGNED -. Fine in glossy illustrated wrappers.. 1st trade paperback printing. A book which explores the myths of Native Americans that established false notions of 'Indianness.' by an author considered the foremost postmodern theorist of Native American literatures and cultures. "Combining postmodern and postcolonial cultural theories with the comic wisdom of the tribal trickster, Vizenor analyzes aspects of contemporary Native American culture. He eschews what he terms 'terminal creeds, ' that is, views of Native Americans that fix them in a certain cultural pose - usually established by anthropologists and romanticizers - and out of which they can never evolve without destroying their identity." (San Francisco Chronicle) SIGNED on the title page. Index. 191 pp.
