Summary:  "In her debut collection of short stories writer and activist Leanne Simpson vividly explores the lives of contemporary Indigenous Peoples and communities, especially those of her own Nishnaabeg nation. Found on reserves, in cities and small towns, in bars and curling rinks, canoes and community centres, doctors offices and pickup trucks, Simpson's characters confront the often heartbreaking challenge of pairing the desire to live loving and observant lives with a constant struggle to simply survive the historical and ongoing injustices of racism and colonialism. Told with voices that are rarely recorded but need to be heard, and incorporating the language and history of her people, Leanne Simpson's Islands of Decolonial Love is a profound, important, and beautiful book of fiction. Leanne Betasamosake Simpson is a researcher, writer, and scholar of Michi Saagiik Nishnaabeg ancestry and is a member of Alderville First Nation. She has Mississauga and Scottish ancestry. Leanne currently teaches at the Centre for World Indigenous Knowledge at Athabasca University"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Short stories, Canadian. Short stories.
