THE BABY BOOM GENERATION AND THE RECEPTION OF NATIVE AMERICAN LITERATURES: D'ARCY MCNICKLE'S RUNNER IN THE SUN.
- Authors
PURDY, JOHN LLOYD
- Abstract
This essay examines the baby boom generation and the reception of Native American literatures in relation to D'Arcy McNickle's "Runner in the Sun: A Story of Indian Maize." The novel features a young man who dedicates himself to saving his village and his people from certain cultural extinction. It is suggested that the novel was intended to promote resistance to the assimilative pressures present in the conformist 1950s.
