Organized into short stories, novel excerpts, and young adult fiction, the collection offers a range of styles, textures, and settings. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichies story is set in Nigeria, where American gangster-rap culture is permeating and guns and tortured loyalties became common. The U.S. and the Caribbean are the settings for Tiphanie Yaniques story of intergenerational and mixed-race tensions between two families. The collection includes an excerpt from Mat Johnsons historical novel set in eighteenth-century New York and an excerpt from Junot D-azs novelset in a contemporary urban ghetto. Also included are works by young adult authors Jacqueline Woodson and Walter Dean Myers.

They are the foundations of stories, the threads of life that tie contemporary Indians with their rich past. Since 1969 when N. Scott Momadays House Made of Dawn was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, American Indian literature has undergone a renaissance in quality and popularity. In this collection of thirty varied and powerful short stories, most written especially for this volume, established and emerging talents in Native American writing present and explore the plight, the pride, and the uneasy presence of Indians in this country today. Editor Clifford Trafzer presents a mix of beloved and rarely seen stories by premier Native American writers, including Momadays The Well - which appears here for the first time in book form - and features the best works of two dozen lesser-known storytellers from a wide range of tribes and cultural backgrounds, which demonstrate the vibrance and diversity of Native American writing now and for years to come. With an introduction exploring the roots of current Native American fiction in traditional tales and the enduring themes of American Indian writing, Earth Song, Sky Spirit is an exciting new anthology of some of the most accomplished - and popular - ethnic fiction available.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=138907 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=137009 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=140100 The stories in this collection--now updated with a new introduction--reflect the modern experience of white-educated Indians, bitterly aware that their culture is threatened with destruction, trying to bear witness through a non-Indian genre: the short story. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=138263 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=138212 Americas most exciting and important writers are represented in this wonderfully rich collection of contemporary classics that date from the 1950s through the 1980s.
