The Great Ndn Paradox

In an era when talks of reconciliation with Native peoples attempt to atone for past wrongs, Ryan McMahon's debut story collection takes a sharp, unwavering, and hilarious look at the paradoxical state of aboriginal-white relations, and the ironies, pitfalls, and sweet truths of life in Indian Country in the twenty-first century.Imbued with the history of aboriginals in North America over the past 150 years, The Great NDN Paradox gets to the heart of everyday Native American experience: from a pair of cousins needing to borrow gas money to get to Standing Rock so they can protest a pipeline, to an aboriginal student failing a Native Studies exam, to learning one's Native language on an iPhone designed by a Silicon Valley tech company.Piercingly observant and trenchantly funny, The Great NDN Paradox explores the parameters of Indian Country experience.The second book to be published under Robin's Egg Books, an imprint dedicated to humorous books about contemporary cultural issues.
