Singing for Power: The Song Magic of the Papago Indians of Southern Arizona (Sun Tracks) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
The Tohono O'odham Indians of Arizona - called Papago by the Spanish, Bean Eaters by neighboring tribes - have cultivated song much as another people might exalt oratory or craft; yet for the Papago, song was not simply self-expression but rather a form of magic that constrained the powers of nature to human will. Ruth Underhill published the songs she heard sung by Papago elders more than half a century ago, and Singing for Power has since become a classic of Native American literature.

Críticas
"Miss Underhill has given us here, in as accurate a free rendering as the structure of English permits, a group of songs which the Papago sing for power--to make themselves, so they think, better able to cope with the difficult environment in which they live."--The Nation
