Louis Owens: Writing Land and Legacy offers the first comprehensive study of the entirety of Owens's work, from his literary scholarship to his autobiographical essays to his novels. Placing him in transnational contexts, the authors trace Owens's contributions to Native American literature, specifically, and to American literature, generally. Noting Owens's focus on memory, land, and mixed-blood experience, they explore his intertextuality, anti-coloniality, and indigenization in the mystery novel, eco-criticism, modernism, and transnational American studies."--Hertha D. Sweet Wong, author of Picturing Identity: Contemporary American Autobiography in Image and Text "This outstanding collection does the urgent and necessary work of bringing Louis Owens out of the scholarly shadows, recentering his achievement within the traditions of American literature and Native American literature alike."--Deborah L. Madsen, editor of The Routledge Companion to Native American Literature
