Native women and land : narratives of dispossession and resurgence / Stephanie J. Fitzgerald.
Dispossession and removal are major subjects in understanding the relationship of American Indians to their ancestral lands. This book is the first treatment of these complex topics to focus on women writers. The author's emphasis on environmental issues makes her book as important to ecocritics as to students of literary criticism, women's studies, and Native American studies. -- from dust jacket.
