The Way of Thorn and Thunder: Books II and III

[bibliogramma]

In late 2008, I read Kynship, the first volume in a trilogy by First Nations author Daniel Heath Justice. It captivated me. In 2009, I read the concluding volumes n the series, Wyrwood and Dreyd.

These two volumes continue to show, in painful detail, the ways that a colonised people can be treated by a powerful invading people. There are many things which will be familiar in theme and shape, if not in precise detail, to colonised peoples anywhere, and to those members of imperialist/settler cultures who have made the effort to learn something about those impacted by colonialism and imperialism.

It is, I think, an important work that gives voice to perspectives too often unheard, even silenced. It's also a good read.
