Publisher Synopsis
I must begin by saying that this book has had more impact on me than any other scholarly text written by a non-Aboriginal person that I have read in years...A deeply thoughtful, extensively researched text, First Person Plural brings new ways of thinking about collaborations between Aboriginal storytellers and their non-Aboriginal associates...Whenever I open the book, I find myself totally engaged, often entranced, with a point the author is making. Sometimes I want to argue with her and then, as I keep reading, I see how she has nuanced each claim she makes, twisting herself to see from varied perspectives while constantly seeking an ethical stance. -- Celia Haig-Brown, York University * Journal of the Canadian Association for the Curriculum Studies V10, N2 * First Person Plural is a wide ranging, nuanced and perceptive book, one that researchers and writers will find extremely helpful in thinking through issues of collaboration. I recommend it very highly. -- Elizabeth Yeoman, Memorial University * Canadian Journal of Native Studies, XXXI, 2 * Read more...
