A Mind Spread Out on the Ground

As much a memoir as a collection of essays that centres struggles of Indigenous people with  problems (mental health concerns, poverty, trauma, violence) with systemic causes: racism, colonialism, via the powerful medium of lived experience, bolstered by additional readings/research. Also interrogates writing and photography through an intersectional lens. Innovative participatory essay format for last essay encourages deeper reflection. 
Makes for grim but important reading that pulls you in.
