Newly expanded, a memoir hailed as essential by the likes of Leslie Marmon Silko and ELLE magazine Bad Indians-part tribal history, part lyric and intimate memoir-is essential reading for anyone seeking to learn about California Indian history, past and present. Widely adopted in classrooms and book clubs throughout the United States, Bad Indians-now reissued in significantly expanded form for its 10th anniversary-plumbs ancestry, survivance, and the cultural memory of Native California. In this best-selling, now-classic memoir, Deborah A. Miranda tells stories of her Ohlone/Costanoan-Esselen family and the experiences of California Indians more widely through oral histories, newspaper clippings, anthropological recordings, personal reflections, and poems. This anniversary edition-the first time the book has seen release in hardcover format-includes new poems and essays, as well as an extensive afterword. Wise, indignant, and playful all at once, Bad Indians is a beautiful and devastating read, and an indispensable book for anyone seeking a more just telling of American history.
Two-Spirit people, identified by many different tribally specific
names and standings within their communities, have been living,
loving, and creating art since time immemorial. It wasn't until the
1970s, however, that contemporary queer Native literature gained
any public notice. Even now, only a handful of books address it
specifically, most notably the 1988 collection "Living the Spirit:
A Gay American Indian Anthology." Since that book's publication
twenty-three years ago, there has not been another collection
published that focuses explicitly on the writing and art of
Indigenous Two-Spirit and Queer people.
