Flaptekst boek over de verovering van Noord-Amerika

Wij kennen maar één kant van de geschiedenis van Amerika: die van de Europese kolonisator. Dit boek beschrijft de andere kant. We leren de Amerikaanse geschiedenis – met name die van Noord-Amerika – kennen door de bril van de inheemse volkeren. De verovering van Noord-Amerika begint in 1492, als de kolonisatie van Amerika op gang komt. De inheemse bevolking wordt bewust besmet met dodelijke ziekten, verplaatst, achtergesteld en deels geassimileerd. De inheemse volkeren en culturen overleven hun bijnavernietiging, maar de effecten van deze kolonisatie zijn tot op de dag van vandaag merkbaar.

Tahir Vladi is geboren in 1978) studeerde American Studies aan de Rijksuniversiteit Groningen en is gespecialiseerd in de geschiedenis van de inheemse volkeren van het Amerikaanse continent.

Leanne Betasamosake Simpson Noopiming review en recensie

  • “This brilliant novel is a carefully curated mix of prose and poetry, though the narrative and poetic form never leaves either; at all times, there is a deliberate attention to rhythm, movement, and sound. The layered storytelling is rich with wry and undeniable humour and introduces readers to an incredible cast of characters, giving us the perspective of Elders, Indigenous youth, raccoons, geese, and trees, braiding together past, present, and future and intentionally centring Nishnaabe life and practices.” (Globe and Mail)
  • “Language is thrilling in Simpson’s work, and nowhere more so than in this newest offering. This novel will be reread for its many truths and teachings and for its undeniable power. The complicated questions Noopiming poses are worth revisiting, and the novel’s wisdom will continue to grow as the reader does.” (Quill & Quire)

Flaptekst van het boek van Leanne Betasamosake Simpson

Akiwenzii is the old man and their will. Ninaatig is the maple tree; they are their lungs. Mindimooyenh is the old woman who holds it all together; she is their conscience. Sabe, the honest sasquatch, is the marrow in their bones. Adik is the caribou and their nervous system. Asin, human, is their eyes and ears; Lucy, human, their mind. Together they are Mashkawaji, our narrator, who may be frozen stiff but still remembers a time of connection everywhere.

When Mashkawaji’s parts attempt to commune with the world around them, they find it’s a strange place, full of SpongeBob Band-Aids and branded coffee mugs. Exposing the unnatural solitude at the heart of settler-capitalism and fully grounded in Indigenous ways of being, Noopiming offers a moving and wickedly funny vision of what modern togetherness might look like – even as it breaks open the self to a world still alive with people, animals, ancestors, and spirits.

Leanne Betasamosake Simpson is a Michi Saagiig Nishnaabeg writer, scholar, and musician, and a member of Alderville First Nation. She is the author of five previous books, including This Accident of Being Lost, which won the MacEwan Book of the Year and the Peterborough Arts Award for Outstanding Achievement by an Indigenous Author; was a finalist for the Rogers Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize and the Trillium Book Award; was longlisted for CBC Canada Reads; and was named a best book of the year by the Globe and Mail, National Post, and Quill & Quire. She has released two albums, including f(l)ight, which is a companion piece to This Accident of Being Lost.

  • “Caetano’s voice leaps off the page with a rhythmic, hip-hop style right from the first page … It gives this memoir energy and descriptive heft.” (Toronto Star)
  • “Cody Caetano spins a tale much like other Ojibway storytellers. Rich in metaphor, plot, and some very serious comedy, he keeps the reader attending to the writing.” (Lee Maracle)

Blurb of the Cody Caetano memoir

The Caetanos move into a doomed house in the highway village of Happyland before an inevitable divorce pulls Cody’s parents in separate directions. His mom, Mindimooye, having discovered her Anishinaabe birth family and Sixties Scoop origin story, embarks on a series of fraught relationships and fresh starts. His dad, O Touro, a Portuguese immigrant and drifter, falls back into “big do, little think” behaviour, despite his best intentions.

Left alone at the house in Happyland, Cody and his siblings must fend for themselves, even as the pipes burst and the lights go out. His protective big sister, Kris, finds inventive ways to put food on the table, and his stoic big brother, Julian, facilitates his regular escapes into the world of video games. As life yanks them from one temporary solution to the next, they steal moments of joy and resist buckling under “baddie” temptations aplenty.

Capturing the chaos and wonder of a precarious childhood, Cody Caetano delivers a fever dream coming-of-age garnished with a slang all his own. Half-Bads in White Regalia is an unforgettable debut that unspools a tangled family history with warmth, humour, and deep generosity.

Cody Caetano is a writer of Anishinaabe and Portuguese descent and an off-reserve member of Pinaymootang First Nation. He has an MA in Creative Writing from the University of Toronto, where he wrote this memoir under the mentorship of Lee Maracle. Excerpts of Half-Bads in White Regalia earned him a 2020 Indigenous Voices Award for Unpublished Prose.
