Weaver focuses on studying Native American literature as a reflectionand shaper of community values, especially for modern urban Native Americans. For cultures so gravitized by oral tradition, the written word has become the messenger of culture and religion.
Native American literatures and communitism -- Occom's Razor and Ridge's Masquerade (18th-19th Century) -- Assimilation, apocalypticism, and reform (1900-1967) -- Indian literary renaissance and the continuing search for community (1968- ) -- Conclusion: Anger times imagination.
