Krátky popis
A groundbreaking Dakota author and activist chronicles her refusal
to assimilate into nineteenth-century white society and her mission
to preserve her culturewith an introduction by Layli Long Soldier,
winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award and the PEN/Jean
Stein Book Award forWhereasBright and carefree, Zitkla- grows up on
the Yankton Sioux reservation in South Dakota with her mother until
Quaker missionaries arrive, offering the reservation's children a
free education. The catch: They must leave their parents behind and
travel to Indiana. Curious about the world beyond the reservation,
Zitkla- begs her mother to let her goand her mother, aware of the
advantages that an education offers, reluctantly agrees.But the
missionary school is not the adventure that Zitkla- expected: The
school is a strict one, her long hair is cut short, and only
English is spoken.She encounters racism and ridicule. Slowly,
Zitkla- adapts to her environmentexcelling at her studies, winning
prizes for essay-writing and oration. But the price of success is
estrangement from her cultural rootsand is it one she is willing to
pay?Combining Zitkla-'s childhood memories, her short stories, and
her poetry, American Indian Stories is the origin story of an
activist in the making, a remarkable woman whose extraordinary
career deserves wider recognition.The Modern
LibraryTorchbearersseries features women who wrote on their own
terms, with boldness, creativity, and a spirit of resistance.
