“The Diné Reader” is obviously a labor of love with the gestation period taking over a decade of devoted research and collaboration. The four editors have wide backgrounds: Esther Berlin is Navajo and in 2000 won the American Book Award for her first published book, “From the Belly of My Beauty.” Jeff Berglund is a professor of English, with a focus on Native American literature and film at Northern Arizona University. He has written and collaborated on four books. Connie A. Jacobs has written and edited two books with more books in production, and she is a professor emerita at San Juan College. Anthony K. Webster has written and co-edited four books and he is an anthropology professor at the University of Texas at Austin.
