The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America by Thomas King

5.0

Thomas King's [b:The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America|15797509|The Inconvenient Indian A Curious Account of Native People in North America|Thomas King|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1357136064s/15797509.jpg|21520410] isn't a typical history book. It's a personal, often sardonic look at the history of Indigenous people in North America from colonization to the present day. King's narrative flows outside a strict chronology, interspersing concerns about Native American representation in film with discussions of historic displacements of Indigenous people, residential schools, treaties, land claims and more. It's accessible and inspiring - a must-read for anyone who cares about Indigenous justice, or doesn't yet know why they should care.
