Interrelated rhetorics of the center and of balance in American Indian novels

Бесплатный доступ

Many protagonists in literature by Native American writers move toward healing. These healing journeys often lead to the discovery of special centered spaces that empower characters to balance the world design. Concrete grounding strategies, shared to varying degrees by all these writers, include images related to the cardinal directions, a circular plot that returns the character home, and a circular textual design.
