Yet, as the editors of this volume amply demonstrate, a significant Indian population remained behind after those massive relocations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first anthology to focus on the literary work of Native Americans who trace their ancestry to \"people who stayed\" in southeastern states after 1830, this volume represents every state and every genre, including short stories, excerpts from novels, poetry, essays, plays, and even Web postings. Although most works are contemporary, the collection covers the entire post-Removal era. Some of the contributors are well known, while others have only recently emerged as important literary voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll of the writers in \u003ci\u003eThe People Who Stayed\u003c\/i\u003e affirm their Indian ancestry, though many live outside the Southeast today. As this anthology demonstrates, indigenous Southeastern writing engages the local and the global, the traditional and the modern. While many speak to the prospects and perils of acculturation, all the writers bear witness to the ways, oblique or straightforward, that they and their families continue to honor their Indian identities despite the legacy of removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an introduction to the volume and in headnotes on each contributor, the editors provide historical context and literary insight on the diversity of writing and lived experiences found in these pages. All readers, from students to scholars, will gain newfound understanding of the literature -- and the human experience -- of Native people of the American Southeast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 362\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 9.1 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 18, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52703924060467,"sku":"9780806141367","price":55.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/d8wnQZ351H9780806141367.webp?v=1763344662","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-people-who-stayed-southeastern-indian-writing-after-removal-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
