This book is about a Native American young man who is navigating a new school while still trying to keep his identity. ( )

Still not sure this is a fair rating. I would definitely recommend this book to a middle schooler, but not to another adult - no matter how much they liked YA. ( )

Questo libro, per quanto con i toni leggeri e divertenti di un romanzo adatto ai più giovani, è un enorme e meritato calcio nel culo dei bianchi.

Vorrei finire qui la recensione perché a dire di più mi sembra di sminuire l’impatto emotivo che (su un bianco) può (o dovrebbe) avere questo romanzo, ispirato dalla vera storia della vita dell’autore, Sherman Alexie. C’è ancora troppa gente che è convinta che il privilegio dei bianchi non esista.

Lo so che sentirsi dare dei privilegiati o dei razzisti non è piacevole: per fortuna la nostra società si è evoluta abbastanza da connotare negativamente queste due parole (anche se sulla seconda, negli ultimi tempi, inizio a nutrire dei dubbi…). Però è così: non perché siamo tutti orribili persone, ma perché siamo cresciuti in un mondo dove tutta una serie di comportamenti e abitudini sono considerati normali, anche se non dovrebbero esserlo affatto.

Allora, invece di prendercela con le persone di colore che ce lo fanno notare, bisognerebbe iniziare a fare autocritica per demolire tutto il razzismo interiorizzato, che è quello più pericoloso, visto che non siamo consapevoli di esserne “portatori sani”.

Quindi no, non vi dirò nient’altro di questo romanzo se non: procuratevelo, leggetelo e regalatelo, soprattutto ai giovani lettori. ( )

Bitter and funny and hopeful and despairing, this is mostly the story of one wrenching year in the life of Junior who leaves his reservation to attend high-school in a white town twenty-some miles away. His family, precarious at the beginning is ravaged by deaths and his best friend becomes an enemy and he is treated as a traitor. And yet survives and finds a place to grow. ( )
  quondame | Sep 21, 2023 |
Alexie nimbly blends sharp wit with unapologetic emotion in his first foray into young-adult literature.

Fourteen-year-old Junior is a cartoonist and bookworm with a violent but protective best friend Rowdy. Soon after they start freshman year, Junior boldly transfers from a school on the Spokane reservation to one in a tiny white town 22 miles away. Despite his parents’ frequent lack of gas money (they’re a “poor-ass family”), racism at school and many crushing deaths at home, he manages the year. Rowdy rejects him, feeling betrayed, and their competing basketball teams take on mammoth symbolic proportions. The reservation’s poverty and desolate alcoholism offer early mortality and broken dreams, but Junior’s knowledge that he must leave is rooted in love and respect for his family and the Spokane tribe. He also realizes how many other tribes he has, from “the tribe of boys who really miss . . . their best friends” to “the tribe of tortilla chips-and-salsa lovers.”

Junior’s keen cartoons sprinkle the pages as his fluid narration deftly mingles raw feeling with funny, sardonic insight. (Fiction. YA)

Working in the voice of a 14-year-old forces Alexie to strip everything down to action and emotion, so that reading becomes more like listening to your smart, funny best friend recount his day while waiting after school for a ride home.

I was born with water on the brain. Okay, so that's not exactly true. I was actually born with too much cerebral spinal fluid inside my skull. But cerebral spinal fluid is just the doctors' fancy way of saying brain grease.

"No, I'm serious. I always knew you were going to leave. I always knew you were going to leave us behind and travel the world. I had this dream about you a few months ago. You were standing on the Great Wall of China. You looked happy. And I was happy for you."
During one week when I was little, Dad got stopped three times for DWI: Driving While Indian.
“Son,” Mr. P. said. “You’re going to find more and more hope the farther and farther you walk away from this sad, sad, sad reservation.”
I'd always been the lowest Indian on the reservation totem pole-- I wasn't expected to be good so I wasn't. But in Reardan, my coach and the other players wanted me to be good. They needed me to be good. They expected me to be good. And so I became good.
"I used to think the world was broken down by tribes," I said. "By black and white. By Indian and white. But I know that isn't true. The world is only broken into two tribes. The people who are assholes and the people who are not."
