Více o knize

Set against the backdrop of 1916, an indigenous woman from Northwestern California provides a unique autobiographical perspective on Yurok life and critiques colonialism. Elizabeth Schleber Lowry analyzes how Lucy Thompson's groundbreaking work appeals to various audiences while addressing themes of cultural identity and environmental stewardship. By challenging stereotypes and highlighting sustainable practices, Thompson's memoir serves as both a personal narrative and a vital commentary on the ongoing impact of colonialism on indigenous communities and the environment.
