A bold and profound meditation on trauma, legacy, oppression and racism in North America from award-winning Haudenosaunee writer Alicia Elliott.
Alicia’s collection of essays is approachable yet, vivid and thought provoking. These essays bring to light the struggle and strength of living with the mental illness of a family member and struggling with depression yourself. This book would be an appropriate choice for literature circles, independent reading in a classroom, or as a whole class examining essay by essay to investigate the current context of our systems and the way that they can perpetuate racism and colonialism.
Grade levels: 10-12
Cautions: references to sexual assault and mature themes.
