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 MeÌtis 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"--. $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Jensen, Toni. $0 (DLC)n 2009030902 650 0 $a Biography. $0 (DLC)sh 85014152 650 0 $a MeÌtis women. $0 (DLC)sh 93007730 650 0 $a Indian women activists. $0 (DLC)sh 93007784 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples. $0 (DLC)sh 85090174 650 7 $a Native Americans $2 local. $0 (local)tlcaut2006308122838000 651 0 $a North Dakota. $0 (DLC)n 79068662 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215024018.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4D3B36765D7511ECBD31EEBF27ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
