Sound of Navajo Poetry

This book analyzes five poems by Navajo poet Rex Lee Jim in order to think through questions of linguistic relativity and translation. In fundamentally rethinking linguistic relativity, this book argues for a humanities of speaking that attends to poetics as a key site for coming to terms with the ways languages facilitate imaginative acts. This book will be of particular interests to researchers in anthropology, linguistics, Native American studies, sound studies, and translation studies. 'The Sounds of Navajo Poetry: A Humanities of Speaking' will be particularly appropriate for courses on verbal art, language and culture, contemporary Native American poetry, translation and sound studies.
