Description

Re-Reading Ishi's Story provides a critical examination of the anthropological classic, Ishi in Two Worlds by Theodora Kroeber. This work functions as a manifesto that challenges the 1961 biography through a modern lens. By analyzing the original text, the author seeks to provide Ishi with the voice that was absent in Kroeber's initial account. The core of this study is a five-play cycle constructed around Gerald Vizenor's trickster-survivance model. This creative and academic approach reimagines Ishi not as the happy warrior described in the original book, but as a more complex figure. The analysis follows the specific storyline found in Kroeber's work, focusing on key events as recounted by Alfred Kroeber and his associates like Saxton. This book is an essential resource for those studying performing arts, theatre, and anthropological representation. It offers a deep look at how stories are told and how historical figures are interpreted across different worlds.
