Why Indigenous Literatures Matter by Daniel Heath Justice
5.0
This is a must read if you are interested in Indigenous literature. I cannot tell you how many times as a BA, MA, and now PhD I have been asked "why literature?" when I discuss my field of study (Indigenous/Maori/American Indian literature). Over and over again I head "aren't there more important issues than books?" because the average person has no idea how significant literature and oral tradition actually is!
Read this book. It will help you find ways to express how important literature is. This was wonderfully written, has a lot of great information, and I am a huge fan of the listing of authors/novels at the end of the work if you are looking for more reading material. Wonderful. Best day of reading I've done in quite some time!
