In Not Far Away, a semi-fictional memoir, Lois Beardslee gives a
chilling acount of racism, particularly that leveled against Native
women, in language that is supple, evocative, often comical, and
always incisive. Her fictional heroine, the teacher Ima Pipiig
(pronounced "buh-BEEG"), endures humiliating insults from school
administrators, fellow teachers, students, and callous neighbors.
For years, she suffers in silence, believing that opposing bigotry
would only fuel its caustic flames-but then she begins to speak
out. Scattered among the chapters chronicling Ima's experiences are
essays and speeches written by the author herself, blurring the
line between fiction and fact and creating a kind of resounding
echo of resistance that is the author's response to racism.
