Daniel Heath Justice

An absolutely amazing, essential, and utterly readable resource for anyone interested in Literature. Full stop. Daniel Heath Justice is an incredible writer with an obvious love of Literature, and an incredibly expansive knowledge of Indigenous Literature in particular. I really can't emphasize enough how accessible this volume is. Fascinating, life-changing, and highly recommended!

A really great collection with a really thoughtful introduction. I hadn't read much from most of these authors before, and reading them here definitely has made me want to read more--especially the work of Maurice Kenney and Qwo-Li Driskill, as well as Craig Womack's novel in full. There's just really beautiful, and sometimes like deeply sexy work in here, and I'm so grateful to have read all of it.

The stuff where Heath Justice pulls out the web of badger connections in culture, literature, our ideas about the creatures and how we interact with and use them is great. The stuff where he reminds us how by volume what we really do is, essentially, kill them is of course important, and we must look at it full on. The stuff where he tells us about the species of badgers and their characteristics feels a bit Wikipedia but interesting and told in an engaging manner and this was a good book.
