Beaverland: How One Weird Rodent Made America by Leila Philip
2.0
Just kind of boring. And beyond that, the author repeatedly insists that this book is heavily informed by indigenous American perspectives, but it really just isn't. Seemingly the only indigenous person even mentioned in this book is introduced with a "she's blonde and blue-eyed, but she's still definitely indigenous, I promise," which is kind of just poor taste, to me. It felt sarcastic and orientalist.
