Segundo
Jane & Lynn Tilton
"Freedom is in the mountains." The words of the young Apache's father ring in his ears, words that have twice driven the two to flee their white captors. But their last attempt leaves the boy's father dead, and the boy with a burning desire for revenge. He is taken in by a kindly man known to his neighbors as Hector Sanchez, but to his fellow Mexicans as El Aguila - the Eagle, an almost legendary fighter for Mexico's freedom. Although Hector tries to teach the boy to relinquish his hate, Segundo's thirst for revenge seems to grow with every passing year. Will it overpower his yearning to someday find true freedom? And will it jeopardize his chances for happiness with Marta, the girl he loves?

As We Have Always Done
Leanne Betasamosake Simpson
"Across North America, Indigenous acts of resistance have in recent years opposed the removal of federal protections for forests and waterways in Indigenous lands, halted the expansion of tar sands extraction and the pipeline construction at Standing Rock, and demanded justice for murdered and missing Indigenous women. In As We Have Always Done, Leanne Betasamosake Simpson locates Indigenous political resurgence as a practice rooted in uniquely Indigenous theorizing, writing, organizing, and thinking. Indigenous resistance is a radical rejection of contemporary colonialism focused around refusing the dispossession of Indigenous bodies and land. Simpson makes clear that the resistance's goal can no longer be cultural resurgence as a mechanism for inclusion in a multicultural mosaic. Instead, she calls for unapologetic, place-based Indigenous alternatives to the destructive logics of the settler colonial state, including heteropatriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalist exploitation."--Dust jacket.
