Rain prevented crops from being planted in the Valley this year, and the birds are stopping in friendlier fields on their way South. The dearth of birds this Sep- tember has not stopped new writers from joining the quint. Another eclectic offering of thought provoking articles, drama, and prose, this issue is designed for readers who enjoy diversity and are interested in new ideas. Showcasing articles from the United States, Canada, and Nigeria, our thirty sixth quint begins with Sarita Cannon's fascinating (and educational) insights into the imposter tradition. In "Racing Towards Manhood: The Construction of Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance," Cannon considers the implications of Sylvester Long's construction of an Indian identity. Then, Meagan De Roover's inter- esting disscussion of sentimentality and horror in Canadian nationalism investigates how "the North" differentiates Canada from the United States. John Misak's "How Fighting Games Help Enable Student Players to Imagine and Investigate Narrative" follows. In his paper Misak argues that video games not only inform student literacy, they also enable students to create narratives that are aligned with canon. Next, the Marian Theory rides again in George Steven Swan's "The Proximate Impulse Behind Romeo and Juliet Quartos-Divergences." Weighing in on the debate concerning the misfor- tunes of Mary Wriothesley and the two Earls of Southampton she loved, Swan finds the backstory of Romeo and Juliet mired in matters of jointure and dowry. In "Woman's Selfhood Presentation from Carol Shields to Indigenous Women Writers," Ying Kong examines the various ways in which women's selves are shaped. Following, Benajamin Hufbauer's "Star Trek Into Drone Wars" presents a compelling consideration of history transmuted into science fiction throughout the Star Trek series. John E. Charlton and John George Hansen's "How Does Indigenous Knowledge Enhance Alcohol and Substance Abuse Programs" charts how beneficial Indigenous knowledge is to addictions recov- ery programs. the quint then is honored to present the works of three Nigerian born writers. First, Jackson A. Aleude's "Liberation Struggle in Africa: An Analysis of the Causes, Nature and Patterns of the Struggle for Independence in Africa North of the Saharan " traces the process by which countries in in North Africa achieved their independence after the Second World War. No quint is complete without its creative complement. Stephen Ogheneruro Okpadah's "The Victims" is a powerful one act play inspired by the activities of Boko Harem. Then. Joseph D. Atoye- bi's "Johnny Just Come" is a finely crafted study of a young Nigerian emigre's first impressions of Germany. My visual offerings in this issue invite you to consider the rich beauty of the North, in summer and fall. Here’s to good reading and viewing, a warm Hudson's Bay blanket, and quiet nights at home with thought-provoking material while the geese fly bravely elsewhere. the quint will be back in De- cember with more offerings for reading and viewing, just in time to trim the tree for Christmas.
