{"product_id":"not-far-away-steve-beard-9780759111202","title":"Not Far Away: The Real-life Adventures of Ima Pipiig","description":"In Not Far Away, a semi-fictional memoir, Lois Beardslee gives a chilling acount of racism, particularly that leveled against Native women, in language that is supple, evocative, often comical, and always incisive. Her fictional heroine, the teacher Ima Pipiig (pronounced 'buh-BEEG'), endures humiliating insults from school administrators, fellow teachers, students, and callous neighbors. For years, she suffers in silence, believing that opposing bigotry would only fuel its caustic flames--but then she begins to speak out. Scattered among the chapters chronicling Ima's experiences are essays and speeches written by the author herself, blurring the line between fiction and fact and creating a kind of resounding echo of resistance that is the author's response to racism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Beard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0759111200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780759111202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Altamira Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/21\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.14w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eMulticultural Review\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2008 pg. 48","brand":"Steve Beard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947092836607,"sku":"9780759111202","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7a23a6c4-e508-493c-9181-e3d8fd8055f5.jpg?v=1681516668","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/not-far-away-steve-beard-9780759111202","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
