projet de recherche
New revised and updated edition of the anthology: Amerindian literature of Quebec: French language writings, Montreal, Bibliothèque Québécoise, 2009.
In 2004, Maurizio Gatti published the first anthology of Quebec Native literature (Éditions Hurtubise) with the purpose of gathering and introducing Native authors to the mainstream reading public. This anthology quickly became an appreciated and useful reference tool. After being reprinted many times, in 2009 Gatti published a paperback revised and updated edition (Bibliothèque Québécoise). As the number of Native authors and their books continues to increase, he decided to work on a third edition of the anthology enhanced with new authors and new texts.
