Captured by Texts Puritan to Postmodern Images of Indian Captivity

How has the American Indian captivity narrative been used to explain the human condition? How does it serve to interpret the meaning of pain and suffering, gender, and the primitive-civilized dichotomy? In Captured by Texts, Gary L. Ebersole explores these questions, showing that our fictional interpretation of captivity can construct a world of meaning that liberates us in the face of adversity, pain, and loss of identity.Ebersole, Gary L. is the author of 'Captured by Texts Puritan to Postmodern Images of Indian Captivity' with ISBN 9780813916071 and ISBN 0813916070.
