<p><b>In this powerful reframing of the stories that make us, Anishinaabe writer Patty Krawec leads us into the borderlands to ask: What worlds do books written by marginalized people describe and invite us to inhabit? </b></p><p>Patty Krawec doesn&#8217;t want to be a &#8220;Good Indian.&#8221; When a friend asked what books could help them understand Indigenous 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 this book. </p><p>Drawing on conversations with readers and authors, <i>Bad Indians Book Club</i> delves into writing about history, science, and gender, and into memoirs and fiction, all by &#8220;Bad Indians&#8221; and those like them, whose refusal of the dominant narrative of the wemitigoozhiwag (European settlers) opens up new possibilities for identity and existence. </p><p>Introducing each chapter with flash fiction about a shapeshifting Deer Woman, who is on her own journey to decide who she is, Krawec leads us into a place of wisdom and medicine where stories of and by marginalized writers help us imagine a thousand worlds waiting to be born. </p>
