VIZENOR, GERALD. Fugitive Poses: Native American Indian Scenes Of Absence And Presence.
University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 2000. 0803296223 / 9780803296220 Abraham Lincoln Lecture Series. s Softcover. Brand new book.
Native peoples today are best known through their fugitive poses: textual and graphic depictions steeped in a modernist aesthetic of romantic victimry, tragedy, and nostalgia. In Fugitive Poses Gerald Vizenor argues that such representations celebrate the absence rather than the presence of the Native. Gerald Vizenor is a professor of American studies and Native American literature at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the author of more than twenty books, including Griever: An American Monkey King in China, winner of the American Book Award. "This collection of five essays by the Anishinaabe novelist and scholar Gerald Vizenor will have the impact of a large firecracker lobbed into the middle of a Sunday School picnic. . . . Vizenor argues that the objectivizing view of indians as aesthetic simulations or as tragic losers, is not only paternalistic but disempowering. . . . Fugitive Poses is a worthwhile and provocative contribution to critical debate."ÑTimes Literary Supplement "Vizenor's writing releases words. Those usually kept in their places in the dictionary and the dominant way of thought, but which are alive, words still on the building-meaning block and wished to be loosed to roam again. . . . His book is a campground of many voices. A get-together. A literate powwow."ÑGreat Plains Quarterly "[Vizenor's] reading is vast and erudite; his use of it eclectic and ingenuous. . . . This book well rewards the effort of decoding."ÑChoice Gerald Vizenor is the recipient of the 2005 Distinguished Achievement Award from the Western Literature Association.

VIZENOR, GERALD. Manifest Manners: Narratives On Postindian Survivance.
University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 1999. s Softcover. Brand new book.
Gerald Vizenor counters the cultural notions of dominance, false representations, and simulations of absence, and, by documents, experience, and theories, secures a narrative presence of Native Americans. Gerald Vizenor has written a new preface for this Bison Books edition of Manifest Manners. A professor of American studies and Native American literature at the University of California, Berkeley, he is the author of more than twenty books, including the American Book Award winner Griever: An American Monkey King in China. "Seeking to recover 'the genius of natural reason, the ironies of tribal imagination, and the shimmer of survivance stories' from the surveillance of the social-science mentality, Vizenor affirms the comic delight in chance and coincidence manifest in oral cultures."ÑCommon Knowledge "Combining postmodern and postcolonial cultural theories with the comic wisdom of the tribal trickster, Vizenor analyzes aspects of contemporary Native American culture. He eschews what he terms 'terminal creeds,' that is, views of Native Americans that fix them in a certain cultural poseÑusually established by anthropologists and romanticizersÑand out of which they can never evolve without destroying their identity. . . . [Vizenor is] the foremost postmodern theorist of Native American literatures and cultures."ÑSan Francisco Chronicle "Manifest Manners, in its encyclopedic fashion, uses postmodern theory in an effort to identify the figures and forces responsible for initiating and perpetuating tribal oppression as well as point out and applaud legitimate advocates and warriors of tribal realities."ÑAmerican Indian Quarterly Gerald Vizenor is the recipient of the 2005 Distinguished Achievement Award from the Western Literature Association.

VIZENOR, GERALD (EDITOR & INTRODUCTION). Survivance: Narratives Of Native Presence.
University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 2008. s Softcover. Brand new book.
The concept and idea of survivance has revolutionized our understanding of the lives, creative impulses, literary practices, and histories of the Native peoples of North America. Engendered and articulated by the Anishinaabe critic and writer Gerald Vizenor, survivance throws into relief the dynamic, inventive, and enduring heart of Native cultures well beyond the colonialist trappings of absence, tragedy, and powerlessness. Vizenor argues that many people in the world are enamored with and obsessed by the concocted images of the IndianÑthe simulations of indigenous character and cultures as essential victims. Native survivance, on the other hand, is an active sense of presence over historical absence, deracination, and oblivion. The nature of survivance is unmistakable in Native stories, natural reason, active traditions, customs, and narrative resistance and is clearly observable in personal attributes such as humor, spirit, cast of mind, and moral courage in literature. In this anthology, eighteen scholars discuss the themes and practices of survivance in literature, examining the legacy of Vizenor's original insights and exploring the manifestations of survivance in a variety of contexts. Contributors interpret and compare the original writings of William Apess, Eric Gansworth, Louis Owens, Carter Revard, Gerald Vizenor, and Velma Wallis, among others. Gerald Vizenor is Distinguished Professor of American Studies at the University of New Mexico and professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the author of more than twenty books, including Fugitive Poses: Native American Indian Scenes of Absence and Presence and Manifest Manners: Narratives on Postindian Survivance, both published by the University of Nebraska Press. Contributors include Susan Bernardin, Helmbrecht Breinig, John Gamber, Diane Glancy, Linda Lizut Helstern, Karl Kroeber, Arnold Krupat, A. Robert Lee, Joe Lockard, James Mackay, Deborah Madsen, James Ruppert, Allan J. Ryan, Takayuki Tatsumi, Alan Velie, Gerald Vizenor, Jace Weaver, and Ying-wen Yu.

VIZENOR, GERALD. Wordarrows: Native States Of Literary Sovereignty.
University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 2003. This edition includes a New Introduction by the author.
With wry humor and imaginative acuity, noted writer Gerald Vizenor offers compelling glimpses of modern Native American life and the different ways that Native Americans and whites interact, fight, and resolve their conflicts. The elusive borderland between white and Native American cultures is further complicated by exchanges of money, services, language, and skills that make up what Vizenor calls the "new fur trade." When Native Americans resist dominance, they fight back incisively and creatively with humor in the strategic word wars of survivance over victimry. Vizenor illuminates the troubling encounters and distant reaches of this modernist fur trade through his creative narratives. Especially memorable is the reincarnation of General George Custer as the head of Native American programs and the mystifying play of words between charity agencies and Native Americans. Several of Vizenor's stories focus on a so-called urban reservation, Franklin Avenue in Minneapolis. In the last section Vizenor recalls his experiences and observations while reporting on the murder trial of a young Native American student, Thomas White Hawk, in South Dakota. Gerald Vizenor is a professor of American Studies and Native American literature at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the author of more than twenty books, including Fugitive Poses: Native American Indian Scenes of Absence and Presence and Manifest Manners: Narratives on Postindian Survivance, both published by the University of Nebraska Press. "Wordarrows is a milestone in the campaign to make traditional native culture a relevant part of modern life. It represents one man's attempt to be both meaningful and honest in using his tribal past."ÑAntioch Review "Penetrating and thoughtful, this book has value for the student of the psyche of the contemporary American Indian."ÑChoice Gerald Vizenor is the recipient of the 2005 Distinguished Achievement Award from the Western Literature Association.
