Book Reviews of Signs of Cherokee Culture: Sequoyah's Syllabary in Eastern Cherokee Life
Book Review: Truly disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
Let me start by saying I find the subject matter of this book fascinating -- contemporary use of the Cherokee syllabary among Eastern Cherokees -- but I had to force myself to finish this book. With the research Bender performed, she could have given us a vivid account of how the language is used today. But only limited quotes or paraphrases of actual Cherokees make their way into the book, along with very few specific examples of the syllabary in use. Rather the book is an endless series of repetitions of her personal conclusions. Her dichotomy of "Christian" and "pagan" (spelled plainly on p. 37) is not only errant but also insulting.
