American Indian Stories, Legends, and Other Writings - (Penguin Classics) by Zitkala-Sa (Paperback)

This powerful collection of stories and nonfiction writings by Zitkala-Sa, a Native American author and activist, offers a thought-provoking exploration of the tragedy and complexity of the American Indian experience.

With a personal history that spans the late 1800s and early 1900s, Zitkala-Sa's works force new thinking about perceptions, assumptions, and customs of both Sioux and white cultures, while raising issues of assimilation, identity, and race relations that remain compelling today.
