I found this to be very insightful. Elliot comes at the issues from different viewpoints. The intricate dichotomy of passing for white, nutrition, self-love, beauty standards, art—especially photography, which was my favourite chapter in the book.

This is a great companion to The Inconvenient Indian because while the problems remain the same shifting the lens to that of a younger woman immediately reveals many more ways in which Western culture has caused harm and been continually abusive to First Nations peoples.

The ways in which this abuse plays out that Elliot has noticed are more intersectional and nuanced than other writing I’ve encountered on the subject.
