Review Quotes:
"...Cotten and Acampora's text serves as a valuable source to the growing research on African American and Native American culture, with its narrowed focus on literature and writing produced by women." -- Feminist Formations
"...these essays tackle both the failure to address all aspects of African Native identities and the absence of sustained studies of African Native literature." -- The Year's Work in English Studies
"The essays offer some fresh perspectives on well-known works and will prove useful to students and scholars in philosophy, women's studies, and the humanities ... the collection does a good job in presenting new ways of thinking about texts that challenge traditional disciplinary divisions." -- American Indian Quarterly
