"Bawaajimo: A Dialect of Dreams in Anishinaabe Language and Literature combines literary
criticism, sociolinguistics, native studies, and poetics to introduce an Anishinaabe
way of reading. Although nationally specific, the book speaks to a broad audience
by demonstrating an indigenous literary methodology. Investigating the language itself,
its place of origin, its sound and structure, and its current usage provides new critical
connections between North American fiction, Native American literatures, and Anishinaabe
narrative. The four Anishinaabe authors discussed in the book, Louise Erdrich, Jim
Northrup, Basil Johnston, and Gerald Vizenor, share an ethnic heritage but are connected
more clearly by a culture of tales, songs, and beliefs. Each of them has heard, studied,
and written in Anishinaabemowin, making their heritage language a part of the backdrop
and sometimes the medium, of their work. All of them reference the power and influence
of the Great Lakes region and the Anishinaabeakiing, and they connect the landscape
to the original language. As they reconstruct and deconstruct the aadizookaan, the
traditional tales of Nanabozho and other mythic figures, they grapple with the legacy
of cultural genocide and write toward a future that places ancient beliefs in the
center of the cultural horizon."--Pub. desc
