Babimose: The Wanderer: Makwa Enewed

Autor Peter Razor
en Paperback – iun 2025
Set against the backdrop of the French and Indian War in the 1750s, this book expands on the legend of Babimose. The legend was passed down as an oral history among Indigenous peoples until it was recorded by a traveling historian who was among the northern Wisconsin Ojibwe in the 1850s. The story recalls a gifted Anishinaabe boy who lived south of Gichigami, now known as Lake Superior, who independently traveled among Indigenous nations. The original story was recorded as a one-page description of Babimose; this book expands on this to explore the language barriers and cultural differences that Babimose would have encountered on his journey. The lessons he learned about people and their resilience in the region still offer lessons for readers today.

Recenzii

Babimose will transport you to the early contact era in the Great Lakes, a collision of cultures, and a narrative that you don’t want to miss.” —Anton Treuer, author of Where Wolves Don't Die
“The late Peter Razor, award-winning author of While the Locust Slept, tells a story of hope and survival in the story of Babimose, providing a sharp contrast to the lonely, cruel environment Razor survived as an orphaned youth. Babimose’s world is rich, with supportive natural and adoptive parents, diverse communities, and spiritual guidance where the protagonist is free to pursue his dreams through eventful coming-of-age adventures during early colonization days.”—Janis Fairbanks, member of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, and published in Voice on the Water: Great Lakes Native America Now
“Babimose is the story of a boy able to move easily between people, places, and languages. What begins as innocent wandering turns into a much longer and life-changing journey. Readers are given a glimpse of a time when states were new, boundaries were shifting, and people often struggled to understand one another. Known for his honest retelling of terrible parts of the American past, Peter Razor gifts us with a tale of Indigenous ingenuity, resilience, and quiet integrity.”—Margaret Noodin, Anishinaabemowin instructor for the Grand Portage Lake Superior Band of Chippewa and professor of English at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee
