The average rating for American Indian Literature, Environmental Justice, and Ecocriticism: The Middle Place based on 2 reviews is 5 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2013-03-30 00:00:00 David Ortiz This is a deeply intricate examination of words, literature, space, and the ways that indigenous people make meaning with the areas that have formed their worlds. Adamson takes care not to seek any sense of authenticity or primitive connection with nature in her examination. Instead, she tells the stories told to her by her Native American students. She tells the stories told about the land. In essence, she listens to a people and reads their narratives as a form of environmental theory.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-10-19 00:00:00 Greg Leslie Required reading for academics, activists, and citizens of the world. Important ideas on nature and the problems of fetishizing "wilderness" and how that blinds to the environmental destructiveness in our modern worldview, environmental racism, the importance in place and local justice, and ways to try to find the middle place for us all. I highly recommend this one, and will be purchasing a few copies to give out to friends and colleagues
