Summary:

"Over twenty years after the publication of its groundbreaking first edition, An Anthology of Indigenous Literatures in English continues to provide the most comprehensive coverage of Indigenous literatures within Canada available in one volume. Emphasizing the importance of orature within the tradition, the anthology presents traditional songs of the Southern First Nations and the Inuit before moving on to showcase a diverse array of graphic and short stories, poems, plays, letters, and essays crafted by exceptional writers from a wide variety of periods and backgrounds. Newly revised and expanded, the fifth edition introduces many new voices and selections, preserving the collection's traditional balance of historical and contemporary Indigenous literatures."-- Provided by publisher.
