Trade paperback. Condizione: Good. Third Bison Book Printing. Format is 5.25 inches by 8 inches. xiv, 378 pages. Foreword by Edward Sapir. The linguist Walter Dyk received his bachelor's degree at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1928, he pursued graduate work in linguistics under Edward Sapir, receiving his MA at Chicago for "Verb Types in Wishram" (1931) and his dissertation at Yale for "A Grammar of Wishram" (1933). Dyk turned from Chinookan languages to Navajo, doing intensive fieldwork in Arizona in 1934 on a grant from the National Research Council that he had secured with the support of Sapir. His analysis of clan and kinship informed his two most influential works, Son of Old Man Hat, an "autobiographical" narrative written with his consultant Left Handed, and A Navaho Autobiography, concerning Old Mexican. Dyk's Notes and Illustrations of Navaho Sex Behavior was influential in its discussion of incest. Dyk served as a fellow at the Harvard Psychological Clinic and taught at Simmons College and at Brooklyn College. With a simplicity as disarming as it is frank, Left Handed tells of his birth in the spring "when the cottonwood leaves were about the size of my thumbnail," of family chores such as guarding the sheep near the hogan, and of his sexual awakening. As he grows older, his account turns to life in the open: nomadic cattle-raising, farming, trading, communal enterprises, tribal dances and ceremonies, lovemaking, and marriage. As Left Handed grows in understanding and stature, the accumulated wisdom of his people is made known to him. He learns the Navajo life founded upon principles: the necessity of honesty, foresightedness, self-discipline. The style of the narrative is almost biblical in its rhythms; but biblical, too, in many respects, is the traditional way of life it recounts.
