Noopiming : the cure for White ladies / Leanne Betasamosake Simpson.

Summary:

"In fierce prose and poetic fragments, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson's 'Noopiming' braids together humor, piercing detail, and a deep, abiding commitment to Anishinaabe life to tell stories of resistance, love, and joy. Mashkawaji (they/them) lies frozen in the ice, remembering the sharpness of unmuted feeling from long ago, finding freedom and solace in isolated suspension. They introduce the seven characters: Akiwenzii, the old man who represents the narrator's will; Ninaatig, the maple tree who represents their lungs; Mindimooyenh, the old woman, their conscience; Sabe, a gentle giant, their marrow; Adik, the caribou, their nervous system; and Asin and Lucy, the humans who represent their eyes, ears, and brain. Simpson's book 'As We Have Always Done' argued for the central place of storytelling in imagining radical futures. 'Noopiming' (Anishinaabemowin for 'in the bush') enacts these ideas. The novel's characters emerge from deep within Abinhinaabeg thought to commune beyond an unnatural urban-settler world littered with SpongeBob Band-Aids, Ziploc baggies, and Fjällräven Kånken backpacks. Noopiming offers a breaking open of the self to a world alive with people, animals, ancestors, and spirits--and the daily work of healing."-- Provided by publisher.
