Reviews

[KEITH · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book does provide a valuable glimpse into the lived experience of a diverse group of "aboriginal women," but Huffer's account is rather laden with a judgmental, eurocentric tone. In order to get the true value out of this book the reader requires a decolonized mind to see through the eurocentric lens.
