At a time when the most influential national media have placed significant emphasis on the literary canon, the book emerges as a timely and thought-provoking exploration of this critical topic. It prompts us to expand our conception of the literary canon and its relationship to an international, cosmopolitan literary tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book arrives at a juncture when the literary canon has become a subject of widespread public interest and scholarly debate. The media, driven by their influential platforms, have expressed strong opinions on what the American student should or should not consider essential or core texts. This debate continues to be fervently contested, even in the present day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArnold Krupat, in his compelling argument, asserts that the literary expressions of the indigenous peoples of the United States warrant more than mere marginal attention. With a firm grasp of both literary history and contemporary critical theory, Krupat skillfully situates Indian literature, both traditional and modern, within various contexts and categories. His extensive knowledge of the history and current theory of ethnography makes The Voice in the Margin an invaluable resource for anthropologists, folklorists, students, and teachers of literature, both canonical and noncanonical.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe breadth of materials covered, the diverse perspectives considered, and the impressive learning displayed in the book make it a significant contribution to the dynamic field of contemporary cultural studies.
