{"product_id":"okla-hannali-9780806123493","title":"Okla Hannali","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis curious and wonderful tall tale contributes to the apocalyptic revision of American history that began with Little Big Man and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. It's the tale of Hannali Innominee, a 'Mingo' or natural lord of the 19th-century Choctaw Indian [and] a capacious, indomitable giant of the ilk of Paul Bunyan....Lafferty tells it straight: how the Choctaw nation, once removed, reconstituted itself and thrived in Indian territory...., how there came a schism between the rich, part-white, slave-owning, moneylending Choctaws and the 'feudal, compassionate, chauvinistic' full-blooded freeholders like Hannali; and how, during the Civil War, the Indians were manipulated divide-and-conquer fashion in helping destroy each other.-\u003cem\u003eKirkus Reviews.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHobson, Geary:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeary Hobson\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of English at the University of Oklahoma, author of the novel \u003ci\u003eThe Last of the Ofos, \u003c\/i\u003e and editor of \u003ci\u003eThe Remembered Earth: An Anthology of Contemporary Native American Literature\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLafferty, R. a.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eR.
