Not far away : the real-life adventures of Ima Pipiig

Beardslee, Lois. (Author).

Summary: "In this semi-fictional memoir, Lois Beardslee gives a chilling account of racism - particularly that leveled against Native women - in language that is supple, evocative, often comical, and always incisive. Her fictional heroine, the teacher Ima Pipiig (pronounced "buh-BEEG"), endures humiliating insults from school administrators, fellow teachers, students, and callous neighbors. For years, she suffers in silence, believing that opposing bigotry would only fuel its caustic flames - but then she begins to speak out. Interspersed among the chapters chronicling Ima's experiences are essays and speeches written by the author herself, blurring the line between fiction and fact and creating a resounding echo of resistance."--BOOK JACKET.
