3:00 PM, The Clarke Museum Bookworms discuss 'An Indian among los Indígenas' by Ursula Pike (Zoom)
Saturday, December 11, 2021
'An Indian among los Indígenas' is Karuk tribal member Ursula Pike’s memoir of volunteering for the Peace Corps in Bolivia, starting at age 25. This thoughtful reflection on her experience 'upends a canon of travel memoirs that has historically been dominated by white writers. It is a sharp, honest, and unnerving examination of the shadows that colonial history casts over even the most well-intentioned attempts at cross-cultural solidarity.' -- Heyday Books (the publisher)
