Mari Sandoz: A Study in Post-Colonial Discourse by Laura R. Villiger (Hardback, 1995)

In her works Mari Sandoz offers an encompassing view of American history which includes t only the history of the white newcomers, but also that of the indigeus peoples of the rthern Western hemisphere. A descendant of Swiss settlers in Nebraska, Sandoz was keenly aware of the multicultural facets of the United States and masterfully fused history, ethlogy, and fiction. Highlighting Sandoz's major works from a post-colonial perspective, this study brings her approach into focus, and thus argues against an overly narrow conception of the American literary can.
