Sergio reviewed How We Go Home by Sara Sinclair
Review of 'How We Go Home' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This book simply accomplishes everything it sets out to do. The way each narrator's voice is given as much life as can be expected from the pages of a book, their powerful individual stories, all ultimately hopeful but filled with the struggle, abuse and unjust suffering that centuries of systematic neglect, racism and cultural erasure have brought upon indigenous populations, the carefully and thoroughly annotated footnotes, accompanying essays and context blurbs, and the obvious love and passion with which every sentence has been assembled all coalesce into a picture of indigenous north america, both in the US and Canada, that should be urgently seen and shared by everyone.
