商品簡介
Eleven contributions from scholars explore some of the many ways that stories speak to, from, within, and across cultures in North America. The volume opens with an examination of how the tale of "Little Red Riding Hood" transmits culture inter-generationally as well as across nations. Other topics include (for example) Pueblo oral traditions in the stories of Leslie Marmon Silko and the postmodern blend of traditional and contemporary influences reflected in the work of singer-songwriter Steve Earle.
