520 "A powerful, poetic memoir about what it means to exist as
an indigenous woman in America, told in snapshots of the
author's encounters with gun violence--for readers of
Jesmyn Ward and Terese Marie Mailhot. Toni Jensen grew up
in the Midwest around guns: As a girl, she learned how to
shoot birds with her father, a card-carrying member of the
NRA. As an adult, she's had guns waved in her face in the
fracklands around Standing Rock, and felt their silent
threat on the concealed-carry campus where she teaches.
And she has always known she is not alone. As a Métis
woman, she is no stranger to the violence enacted on the
bodies of indigenous women, on indigenous land, and the
ways it is hidden, ignored, forgotten. In Carry, Jensen
maps her personal experience onto the historical,
exploring how history is lived in the body and redefining
the language we use to speak about violence in America. In
the title chapter, Jensen recalls the discrimination she
faced in college as a Native American student from her
roommate to her faculty adviser. "The Worry Line" explores
the gun and gang violence in her neighborhood the year her
daughter was born. "At the Workshop" focuses on her
graduate school years, during which a classmate repeatedly
wrote stories in which he killed thinly veiled versions of
her. In "Women in the Fracklands," Jensen takes the reader
inside Standing Rock during the Dakota Access pipeline
protests, as well as the peril faced by women, in regions
overcome by the fracking boom. In prose at once forensic
and deeply emotional, Toni Jensen shows herself to be a
brave new voice and a fearless witness to her own
difficult history--as well as to the violent cultural
landscape in which she finds her coordinates as a Native
American woman. With each chapter, Carry reminds us that
surviving in one's country is not the same as surviving
one's country."--|cProvided by publisher.
