Bad Indians book club : reading at the edge of a thousand worlds / Patty Krawec ; foreword by Omar El Akkad.
In this powerful reframing of the stories that make us, Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec leads us into the borderlands of history, science, memoir, and fiction. When a friend asked what books could help them understand Indigenous lives, Patty Krawec, author of Becoming Kin, gave them a list. This list became a book club, then a podcast about a year of Indigenous reading, and then this book. The writers Krawec interacts with in Bad Indians Book Club refuse to let dominant stories displace their own and resist the way wemitigoozhiwag -- European settlers -- craft the prevailing narrative and decide who they are. In Bad Indians Book Club, we examine works about history, science, and gender, as well as fiction, all written from the perspective of "Bad Indians" -- marginalized writers who refusal to comply with dominant narratives opens up new worlds. Interlacing chapters with short stories about Deer Woman, who is on her own journey to decide who she is, Krawec leads us into a place of wisdom and medicine where the stories of marginalized writers help us imagine other ways of seeing the world. As Krawec did for her friend, she recommends a list of books to fill in the gaps on our own bookshelves and in our understanding.
