Editors Tiya Miles and Sharon P. Holland propose "to articulate in new ways this space where black experience meets native experience" in their collection of essays entitled Crossing Waters, Crossing Worlds (p. 3). The fifteen essays range across the disciplines of history, anthropology, African American studies, English, ethnic studies, and Native American studies and include fiction and personal memoir. The first eight essays are "primarily concerned with the themes of race, place, belonging, citizenship, and historical memory," while the last seven chapters "are particularly interested in explorations of presence, identity, and intimacy through narrative, performance, and visual art" (p. 13). |
