Beschreibung

Barbara Monroe makes visible the arts of persuasion of the Plateau Indians, revealing a chain of cultural identification that predates the colonial period and continues to this day. Culling from hundreds of student writings in two reservation schools, Monroe finds that students employ the same persuasive techniques as their forebears. These persuasive strategies have survived not just across generations, but also across languages from Indian to English and across multiple genres.

Portrait
