Extrait

Being a nation of immigrants, the United States of America has long been faced with the myth of the melting-pot. Even if it is largely outdated, the images of the ‘tossed salad’ or the ‘rainbow’ correctly illustrate the fact that America is a mosaic of people. But before being such a nation of immigrants America was already inhabited by native peoples. And it is now the intention of my work to study the survival and ‘continuance’ — to quote Simon J. ORTIZ (1) — of these native peoples, through their literatures, oral and written. For the purposes of this memoir, we will mostly study their written literature, more precisely their fiction. This is not to deny the continuity which exists between the oral tradition and the written tradition. Thus studying contemporary fiction writing necessarily means studying the oral tradition which is a part of it.
