American Indian Literatures provides a history of Native American literature from 1772 to the present, describes types of oral literatures and life histories, evaluates secondary works in the field, and includes an extensive selected bibliography. A useful appendix lists important dates in American Indian history.

"The most comprehensive introduction currently available to the genres and major authors of Native American oral and written literature". Booklist

"The first thing likely to strike the reader upon opening LaVonne Ruoff's new volume is the range, variety, and richness of American Indian literatures. ... Well conceived and well executed, the book will be welcomed by students and teachers who are approaching the subject for the first time". Studies in American Indian Literature
