Description

In Not Far Away, a semi-fictional memoir, Lois Beardslee gives a chilling acount 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. Scattered 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 kind of resounding echo of resistance that is the author's response to racism.

Author Biography:

Lois Beardslee is the author of Rachel's Children (2004), a novel about the Ojibwe of northern Michigan, and the essay collection Lies to Live By (2003). She is an instructor in communications at Northwestern Michigan College and an Ojibwe artist whose works are in public and private collections around the world.
