Anna Lee Waltersová je autorka, ktorej tvorba sa ponára do hlbín domorodej americkej kultúry a identity. Vo svojich dielach skúma zložité vzťahy medzi minulosťou a súčasnosťou, tradíciou a modernitou. Jej jedinečný štýl majstrovsky splieta tajomstvá s hlbokým skúmaním duše a postavenia indiánskych národov. Waltersová vo svojej literatúre ponúka čitateľom nielen pútavé príbehy, ale aj podnety na zamyslenie sa nad koreňmi a kultúrou.
Native American Stories of Inspiration, Humor, and Life
Leading writers and poets, such as LeAnne Howe, Julian Lang, Caren Wallace, and Sulieman Allen, contribute to this collection of stories that captures the Native American spirit, humor, and reality. "Hozho," the Navajo word meaning walking in beauty, explores such themes as invisibility, transcendence, the oral tradition, and the role of humor and irony in Indian culture.
Art and religion are two words that have no equivalents in languages spoken by Native Americans. Yet these intensely spiritual people created objects for everyday use that are unsurpassed for sheer beauty, originality, and craftsmanship. The Spirit of Native America explains this apparent contradiction in language as rich in symbolism as the art itself. Stunning full-color photography augments the text, yielding a new perspective on this often misunderstood facet of Native American culture.
