Reviews

This volume is the newest, and in many ways, most impressive, achievement in the scholarly field of American Indian theatre critical studies and research. The overall approach the authors have taken, one that emphasizes Native critical and dramaturgical frameworks rather than the western notions of theatre and performance that have long been imposed on scholarly readings of Native theatre, enlarges and, in my view, enriches the body of scholarship available for use by college students, academics, theatre artists and tribal educators and community builders. -- Hanay Geiogamah, Professor of Theatre, UCLA School of Theatre, Film and Television, USA
