The Inconvenient Indian is at once a “history” and the complete subversion of a history - in short, a critical and personal meditation that the remarkable Thomas King has conducted over the past 50 years about what it means to be “Indian” in North America. Rich with dark and light, pain and magic, this book distills the insights gleaned from that meditation, weaving the curiously circular tale of the relationship between non-Natives and Natives in the centuries since the two first encountered each other.

Mimi e Bird são um casal indígena: ela Blackfoot, ele Cherokee. Os dois viajam pela Europa seguindo a rota dos cartões-postais enviados por Leroy Bull Shield, tio de Mimi, depois dele ter sido retirado de sua reserva indígena para se tornar atração em um show de faroeste. Ao partir, Leroy havia levado a bolsa Crow, um importante artefato da família, e é com o argumento de recuperá-la e descobrir o paradeiro do antepassado que Mimi e Bird justificam suas andanças pelo mundo.

All prior histories on the blues have alleged it originated on plantations in the Mississippi Delta. Not true, says author Chris Thomas King. In The Blues, King presents facts to disprove such myths. For example, as early as 1900, the sound of the blues was ubiquitous in New Orleans. The Mississippi Delta, meanwhile, was an unpopulated sportsman’s paradise - the frontier was still in the process of being cleared and drained for cultivation. Moreover, this book is the first to argue that the blues began as a cosmopolitan art form, not a rural one.
