In a powerful reframing of the stories tha t make us\, Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec leads us into the borderlands to ask: What worlds do books written by marginalized people describe and i nvite us to inhabit?
\nPatty Krawec doesn&rsquo\;t want to be a "Goo d Indian." When a friend asked what books could help them understand Indig enous lives\, Patty Krawec gave them a list. This list then exploded into a book club\, then into a podcast about a year of Indigenous reading\, and then\, ultimately\, into the book Bad Indians Book Club.
\nDrawing on conversations with readers and authors\, \;Bad Indians Book Club \;delves into writing about history\, science\, and ge nder\, and into memoirs and fiction\, all by "Bad Indians" and those like them\, whose refusal of the dominant narrative of the wemitigoozhiwag (Eur opean settlers) opens up new possibilities for identity and existence.
\nA Different Drummer Books will be on site with books for sale and sig ning after the talk.
