"The Inconvenient Indian: a curious account of native people in North America" by Thomas King has the one attribute that always makes a book worthwhile: it's readable. King is an academic who writes beautifully. It's not full of jargon. It's light. It's interesting. It's understandable. And there is wit and humour throughout. The topic is dead serious and I doubt I would have got through it had anyone else wrote it. I'm thankful that Tom King wrote this. Definitely would recommend it.
