Published in 1977, Ceremony has become one of the central texts of the evolving multi-ethnic canon of contemporary American fiction, and rightly so: it combines technical innovation with powerful linguistic vigor. Aside from the obvious difference in length (760 pages, to Ceremony's 262), Almanac differs radically from Ceremony in scope and tone. Whereas Tayo's pilgrimage and thus the vision of Ceremony is at first intimate and personal, the vision of Almanac is global. Ceremony focuses on one man's struggle; Almanac tackles the struggles of whole peoples-Native American peoples especially, but also African American peoples, Latino peoples, women, the poor of all races. And, perhaps most significant, where Ceremony uplifts, Almanac overturns. Almanac similarly calls for a return to native ways of viewing the earth and mankind's place in it, but this is only one aspect of a whole system of change. Instead of invoking the healing ceremony, Almanac calls for an upheaval in the world order and a dramatic revision of world history. With this breadth of scope, Almanac bears resemblances to other prodigious novels published in recent years. Like the works of Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo, William Vollmann, and David Foster Wallace, Almanac's vision is broad and dark, its cast of characters huge, its narrative line jumbled.

Ashley, Karen Jarratt-Ziemski","doi":"10.2307/1185828","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/1185828","url":null,"abstract":"Many of the problems facing Native Americans today stem from bias, stereotype, and basic misunderstanding on the part of non-Indians. As racist tendencies and generalizations begin at an early age, education and proper treatment in textbooks is essential in remedying the problem. However, education and learning do not end in one's teen years. Perceptions (both positive and negative) can be molded, reshaped, or solidified in later years. Thus, while adequate and accurate coverage of the role of Native Americans in the American governmental system should be standard fare in college textbooks, it is not. In this paper we analyze the way in which Native American issues are addressed in some of the leading American government and democracy textbooks being used at the college level. Our examination considers the texts on two levels. First, we look at the amount of space devoted to Native Americans relative to other minority groups and between the federal government and other subnational units of government. An examination of index references and a simple word count should reveal where the priorities of various authors lie. (We assume that areas given greater weight by an author will be written upon more extensively.) Second, we examine the texts for any bias or the fostering of misunderstanding. For example, simply lumping Native Americans into a section on minority politics is inherently misinforming if the separate legal status of American Indian nations as well as Indian individuals living in Indian Country is not specified.' (By admission, our word count analysis appears to lean toward the same style of categorization but it is unavoidable since Native Americans are among the many ethnic minority groups in the United States; however, the term \"Indian\" or \"Native American\" also connotes a particular political or legal status). Other possible areas of bias include the discussion of tribes with regard to","PeriodicalId":80425,"journal":{"name":"American Indian quarterly","volume":"23 1","pages":"49"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2307/1185828","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68492165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Focusing on the Choctaws, Pawnees, and Navajos, Richard White attempted to identify and isolate the various factors that contributed to the material decline of American Indian peoples. Roots of Dependency was widely acclaimed when it was first published, both for White's strong thesis and his new approach to Native American history. White's methodology differed from that of traditional historians most notably in his interdisciplinary approach and in his incorporation of a Native American focus and perspective into his narrative.' White began his study by examining the Mississippi Choctaw of the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, showing how their initial adaptations to Euro-American influences eventually turned to disaster. As Euro-American market forces penetrated their economy, the Choctaws were driven to overhunt deer populations to extinction and in the process destroyed their resources, environment, and economy. Although he also cited alcohol as a major element of this decline, White asserted that the Euro-American market economy was the \"critical\" factor in understanding the \"fate\" of the Choctaws. White claimed that the Choctaws \"were lured into the market\" by liquor, that the subsequent exchanges \"were literally dictated by whites,\" and that ultimately\"commerce ... left them hungry and vulnerable.\" White further asserted that Choctaw resistance was rendered \"utterly superfluous\" and that their actions served only to slow the destructive consequences of the market economy. By the 1770s, according to White, the Choctaws had become dependent upon Euro-Americans to adequately feed and clothe themselves.2","PeriodicalId":80425,"journal":{"name":"American Indian quarterly","volume":"23 1","pages":"113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2307/1185831","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68492196","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
