A budding creative native woman's life woven in dreams and trying circumstances
5 stars
Crazy Brave is an inspiring and heart-rending journey through Harjo's early childhood and formative years, finding music, theater and poetry as means of expressing her creativity.

yogat3ch finished reading The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin

A sci-fi novel that's secretly a social thought experiment, in which Le Guin imagines a planetary culture modeled on perfect anarchic communalism, it's shining points and it's drawbacks, and a capitalistic imperialist culture from which it emerged many year ago, from the protagonist, Shevek's viewpoint.

The highly detailed, analytic and comparative narration is thought provoking and encourages the reader to think critically about their cultural conditionings.
