"(Ad)dressing Our Words: Aboriginal Perspectives on Aboriginal Literatures is a collection of essays by Aboriginal writers and academics that combines scholarly and personal perspectives on literature and its role in the lives of Aboriginal people. A follow up to the ground-breaking collection, Looking at the Words of Our People (Theytus Books, 1993), this collection brings together new and established voices to provide insight into this rapidly expanding field of study from a diversity of Aboriginal cultures. Sharing what the writing and reading of this literature means to them and their people, the contributors address such pressing topics as tradition, identity, language, appropriation, assimilation, self-determination and sexuality. United by the common theme of de-colonization, these essays reach out with the same commitment and determination to the process as do the poems, stories and plays they examine."--Back cover.
