520    "In Plateau Indian Ways with Words, Barbara Monroe makes 
       visible the arts of persuasion of the Plateau Indians, 
       whose ancestral grounds stretch from the Cascades to the 
       Rockies, revealing a chain of cultural identification that
       predates the colonial period and continues to this day. 
       Culling from hundreds of student writings from grades 7-12
       in two reservation schools, Monroe finds that students 
       employ the same persuasive techniques as their forebears, 
       as evidenced in dozens of post-conquest speech 
       transcriptions and historical writings. These persuasive 
       strategies have survived not just across generations, but 
       also across languages from Indian to English and across 
       multiple genres from telegrams and Supreme Court briefs to
       school essays and hip hop lyrics. Anecdotal evidence, 
       often dramatically recreated; sarcasm and humor; suspended
       or unstated thesis; suspenseful arrangement; intimacy with
       and respect for one's audience as co-authors of meaning-
       these are among the privileged markers in this particular 
       indigenous rhetorical tradition. Such strategies of 
       personalization, as Monroe terms them, run exactly counter
       to Euro-American academic standards that value secondary, 
       distant sources; "objective" evidence; explicit theses; 
       "logical" arrangement. Not surprisingly, scores for Native
       students on mandated tests are among the lowest in the 
       nation. While Monroe questions the construction of this so
       -called achievement gap on multiple levels, she argues 
       that educators serving Native students need to seek out 
       points of cultural congruence, selecting assignments and 
       assessments where culturally marked norms converge, rather
       than collide. New media have opened up many possibilities 
       for this kind of communicative inclusivity. But seizing 
       such opportunities is predicated on educators, first, 
       recognizing Plateau Indian students' distinctive rhetoric,
       and then honoring their sovereign right to use it. This 
       book provides that first step"--|cProvided by publisher.
