I used to love travel memoirs but have become uncomfortable with the fact that the majority of them are written by white folks, often traveling to predominantly non-white areas. So I was really excited when this came into the used bookstore where I work! It was wonderful to read a travel memoir by an indigenous woman. You get the things I enjoy about travel memoirs (learning about other countries and cultures, adventure, etc) with the addition of more critical thinking about the role of travel and colonization. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who enjoys travel memoirs.
