This list became a book club and then a podcast about a year of Indigenous reading, and then this book.

Interlacing chapters with short stories about Deer Woman, who is on her own journey to decide who she is, Krawec leads us into a place of wisdom and medicine where the stories of marginalized writers help us imagine other ways of seeing the world. As Krawec did for her friend, she recommends a list of books to fill in the gaps on our own bookshelves and in our understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBecoming Kin\u003c\/i\u003e, which novelist Omar El Akkad called a \"\"searing spear of light,\"\" led readers to talk back to the histories they had received. Now, in \u003ci\u003eBad Indians Book Club\u003c\/i\u003e comes a potent challenge to all the stories settler colonialism tells--stories that erase and appropriate, deny and deflect. Following Deer Woman, who is shaped by the profuse artistry of Krawec, we enter the multiple worlds Indigenous and other subaltern stories create. Together we venture to the edges of worlds waiting to be born.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 231\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 x 8.58 x 5.91 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 16, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51987454132525,"sku":"9781506499123","price":27.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/K9OUzzFmHe9781506499123.webp?v=1776178801","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/bad-indians-book-club-reading-at-the-edge-of-a-thousand-worlds-hardcover","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
