{"product_id":"shapes-of-native-nonfiction-elissa-washuta-9780295745763","title":"Shapes of Native Nonfiction: Collected Essays by Contemporary Writers","description":"\u003cp\u003eJust as a basket's purpose determines its materials, weave, and shape, so too is the purpose of the essay related to its material, weave, and shape. Editors Elissa Washuta and Theresa Warburton ground this anthology of essays by Native writers in the formal art of basket weaving. Using weaving techniques such as coiling and plaiting as organizing themes, the editors have curated an exciting collection of imaginative, world-making lyric essays by twenty-seven contemporary Native writers from tribal nations across Turtle Island into a well-crafted basket.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShapes of Native Nonfiction\u003c\/i\u003e features a dynamic combination of established and emerging Native writers, including Stephen Graham Jones, Deborah Miranda, Terese Marie Mailhot, Billy-Ray Belcourt, Eden Robinson, and Kim TallBear. Their ambitious, creative, and visionary work with genre and form demonstrate the slippery, shape-changing possibilities of Native stories. Considered together, they offer responses to broader questions of materiality, orality, spatiality, and temporality that continue to animate the study and practice of distinct Native literary traditions in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elissa Washuta\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295745762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295745763\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2019 pg. 110\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2019","brand":"Elissa Washuta","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46838251127039,"sku":"9780295745763","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5f55a5c6-c993-4ee4-bc99-093728784c52.jpg?v=1746589260","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shapes-of-native-nonfiction-elissa-washuta-9780295745763","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
