Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Paperback. Miko Kings is set in Indian Territory's queen city, Ada, Oklahoma, during the baseball fever of 1907, but moves back and forth from 1969 during the Vietnam War to present-day Ada. The story focuses on an Indian baseball team but brings a new understanding to the term "America's favorite pastime." For tribes in Indian Territory, baseball was an extension of a sport they'd been playing for centuries before their forced removal to Indian Territory. In this lively and humorous work of fiction informed by careful historical research, LeAnne Howe weaves original and fictive documents such as newspaper clippings, photographs, typewritten letters, and handwritten journal entries into the narrative. LeAnne Howe's Miko Kings is an incredible act of recovery: baseball, a sport jealously guarded by mainstream Anglo culture, is also rooted in Native American history and territory. The irony behind its status as "the all-American pastime" is not lost on Howe as she weaves these compelling stories and narratives to expose the political games of the 20th century that Native Americans learned to play for resistance and survival. Rigoberto Gonzalez, author of So Often the Pitcher Goes to Water Until It Breaks and Butterfly Boy Fiction. MIKO KINGS is set in an Indian Territory's queen city, Ada, Oklahoma, during the baseball fever of 1903 and simutaneously in 1969, the Vietname era. Though a lively and humorous contemporary work of fiction, the narration draws heavily on LeAnne Howe's careful historical research: boarding schools for Native American children, Native American participation in the Vietnam War, and—most centrally—the story of the little-known Indian Baseball League of the late 1800s and 1900s. LeAnne Howe, an enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, is an author, playwright, and scholar. "This is where twentieth-century Indian really began. not in the abstractions of congressional acts, but on the prairie diamond"—Henri Day.
