Alan Twigg turns his attention to First Nations writers, unearthing over 300 books by over 150 mostly unheralded aboriginal authors. Taking the reader from residential schools to art galleries, this lively and unprecedented panorama of British Columbia includes many authors, nearly half being women. Each author is presented in historical and chronological context, along with background material on aboriginal history, as well as rare photographs, illustrations and a comprehensive bibliography.
