Recenzii
"Approaching issues of gender and identity, A Recognition of Being gives life and voice to the experiences of Aboriginal women. Ms. Anderson writes beautifully and respectfully about issues and challenges that face Aboriginal women and our communities. The stories and analysis allow us the opportunity to consider potential pathways to individual and collective freedom. This book is a must read."-- Patricia Montrue-Angus (Mohawk), Professor of Native Studies, University of Saskatchewan
