Pressezitat
“Smartly, this book blends journalism, history and memoir . . . to provide both anecdotes of present-day reservation life and history . . . Treuer’s message—the picture he gives of Indian reservation life today—is not one of defeat or demise but of miraculous survival.” —Greg Sarris, San Francisco Chronicle“Rez Life is a fascinating, air-clearing look at Native American reservation life, strengthened in equal measure by its anecdotes and its scholarly attention.” —Jonathan Messinger, Time Out (Chicago)
“Powerful, important reading.” —Kirkus Reviews

and he sees the pride of survivors.” —Neal Conan, NPR
“Treuer’s poignant, penetrating blend of memoir and history illustrates that despite long-standing problems, including poverty and high rates of alcoholism, reservations remain strong, proud bastions of Native American life.” —People
