Best American Indian Books Over the Last 116 Years
On Sunday, June 26, 2016, Parade magazine had writer, Ann Patchett, choose 75 best books published in English over the last 75 years. Originally, she was supposed to choose the best 75 books by writers from North America, but chose to broaden the field to those “written in English” in order to be able to list the Harry Potter books. Sigh.
Only one book by an American Indian, Sherman Alexie, made the list, and only one book about American Indians made the list, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.
