Myth & Memory injects an interesting and crucial "new" narrative into the historical record. -- Kelly Chaves * The Northern Mariner, Vol.XIX, No.1 * The essays provide a fascinating surf of "first contacts" from New Zealand, England, southern Africa, and the Pacific Northwest, from the eighteenth century to today [...]. A plentiful range of new approaches to the genre of the contact narrative distinguishes this impressively interdisciplinary collection, with contributions from historians, anthropologists, linguists, and literary critics. -- Sophie McCall * Canadian Literature, No.197, Summer 2008 * This convincing and solid collection encourages assessment and reassessment of contact narratives. ... Ten scholars from various fields, including history, anthropology, linguistics, and literature, engage in this informative work. ...Edited by University of Victoria historian John Sutton Lutz, the chapters in Myth and Memory integrate a number of global indigenous perspectives. Lutz's extensive insight regarding native and newcomer relations provides a solid basis for editorial expertise of this compendium. -- Corinne George, Simon Fraser University * H-Canada * Exhaustive research by the authoris into the extensive Culin archives held by the museum has produced a fascinating story of a museum career and of a collecting history. * Choice *
