Abstract
This essay will offer a theoretical reading both of North, and its critics; it will also analyse the criticisms of North in terms of its speaking with the voice of the tribe. I hope to demonstrate that, in fact, what is taking place in North, is a pluralization of the “voice of the tribe” in a manner which is ethically driven in the sense of opening the tribe, and the language of the tribe, to the voice of the other.
