Terry Wildman writes of a justice long-denied, not only for Native peoples who have suffered the loss of lands, livelihood, and life as the American empire spread across the continent, but also for those who struggle for life and liberty to this very day. Like the prophets of Israel, he seeks to correct our eyesight-to set before us God's vision and God's truth and to expose things that we, the American church, would rather not see about ourselves....

"The practical necessity of being preserved and handed on by word of mouth only, must be constantly borne in mind in considering the development of Indian verse forms. It operated to keep poetry tied to its twin-born melody, which assisted in memory, and was constantly at work modifying the native tendency to adjust the rhythm to every changing movement of the story."
Bringing together the chants, songs and oral legends of Native American tribes from...

No todo es narrable al mismo tiempo, no todo es traducible a una forma de la lengua que reorganice categorialmente la experiencia. Muchas veces el horror de lo acontecido disloca en lo más profundo el lenguaje, destruye el orden nominal y nos deja subsumidos en una suerte de...
