Native American Renaissance
"The Native American
Renaissance is a term originally coined by critic Kenneth Lincoln in
the 1983 book Native American Renaissance to categorise the significant
increase in production of literary works by Native Americans in the
late 1960's onwards. A. Robert Lee and Alan Velie note that the book's
title "quickly gained currency as a term to describe the efflorescence
on literary works that followed the publication of N. Scott Momaday's
House Made of Dawn in 1968"." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_Renaissance
critisicm "The term
Native American Renaissance has been criticized on a number of points.
As James Ruppert writes, "Scholars hesitate to use the phrase because
it might imply that Native writers were not producing significant work
before that time, or that these writers sprang up without longstanding
community and tribal roots. Indeed, if this was a rebirth, what was the
original birth?"
