From School Library Journal
Eight essays survey literature, mostly published in the past ten years, with American Indian themes, and written for an audience that includes a wide range of Young Adults–approximately 11- to 18-year-olds. Molin covers both recommended and problematic literature. Her observations are heavily cited with text from the literature and comments from reviewers and critics, giving support to her observations, but also making for dry and dense reading. She does support her argument of a field in which, despite a few hopeful contributions, there is a distressing tenacity of destructive stereotyping. Through the details she presents, she attempts to show exactly why certain depictions of American Indians are offensive, even if they are not thought, or intended, to be by the author. A lengthy bibliography cites all sources mentioned. Doris Seale and Beverly Slapin's A Broken Flute: The Native Experience in Books for Children (AltaMira, 2005) offers a broader base of opinions on specific titles and experiences, but any professional who works with young adult literature will also want to read Molin's detailed survey.–Nina Lindsay, Oakland Public Library, CA
