Bad Indians Book Club [Libby eBook] : Reading at the Edge of a Thousand Worlds. Fortress Press, 2025. Format: OverDrive OverDrive Read. Format: OverDrive Kindle Book. HTML:<p><b>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 to ask: What worlds do books written by marginalized people describe and invite us to inhabit?</b></p> <p>When a friend asked what books could help them understand Indigenous lives, Patty Krawec, author of <i>Becoming Kin</i>, gave them a list. This list became a book club and then a podcast about a year of Indigenous reading, and then this book. The writers in <i>Bad Indians Book Club</i>refuse to let dominant stories displace their own and resist the way wemitigoozhiwag—European settlers—craft the prevailing narrative and decide who they are.</p> <p>In <i>Bad Indians Book Club</i>, we examine works about history, science, and gender as well as fiction, all written from the perspective of "Bad Indians"—marginalized writers whose 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.</p> <p><i>Becoming Kin</i>, which novelist Omar El Akkad called a "searing spear of light," led readers to talk back to the histories they had received. Now, in <i>Bad Indians Book Club</i> comes a potent challenge to all the stories settler colonialism tells—stories that erase and appropriate, deny and deflect. Following Deer Woman, who is shaped by the profuse artistry of Krawec, we enter the multiple worlds Indigenous and other subaltern stories create. Together we venture to the edges of worlds waiting to be born.</p>. Biography & Autobiography. Literary Criticism. Nonfiction. Sociology. Media Type: eBook.
