Zusammenfassung
Taking the reader from residential schools to art galleries, this 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 illustrations and a bibliography.

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.

Alan Twigg, publisher and editor of B.C. BookWorld, is the author of eight previous books, including Cuba: A Concise History for Travellers, Intensive Care (a volume of poetry), and Twigg's Directory of 1,001 B.C. Writers. His articles have appeared in the Globe and Mail, Maclean's, the Toronto Star, the Georgia Straight, and the Vancouver Sun. He lives in Vancouver.
