""Listening to the Land" should be read by anyone desiring a deeper
understanding of Native peoples' relationship to place and the
natural world. It argues that the environmental Indian stereotype
is an inaccurate, oversimplified image that prevents real learning
and real action."--"MELUS"
"A thrilling exploration of Native American literary culture and
tradition . . . written in a tight, smooth, flowing
narrative."--"Metro Spirit"
"This is the best book on the land ethic of Native American
writers. Schweninger incisively describes the complexities of the
concepts of Native Americans' relationship to the land as depicted
by both Natives and non-Natives. His perceptive analyses illuminate
the works of Vine Deloria Jr.; Louise Erdrich; Linda Hogan; John
Joseph Mathews; Louis Owens; N. Scott Momaday; and Gerald
Vizenor."--LaVonne Ruoff, University of Illinois, Chicago
