Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Of Living Stone: Perspectives on Continuous Knowledge and the Work of Vine DeloriaJr.is a collection of new essays on the legacy of Vine DeloriaJr., one of the most influential thinkers of our time.This insightful collection features more than thirty original pieces, bringing together Tribal leaders, artists, scientists, activists, scholars, legal experts, and humorists. A group of French scholars offers surprising perspectives on Deloria's continuing global influence. Readers will find thoughtful and creative views on his wide-ranging and world-changing body of work. Some build upon his ideas while others offer important criticisms. In addition to its content, this volume is unique in that it was designed to center the traditional exercise of continuous knowledge whereby information is routinely shared, considered, and pragmatically adapted as it flows between generations. In this way, people, ideas and traditions remain alive and relevant--not set in stone --as the past is honored by those living in the present as they prepare for the future.
