Please join us for a conversation with Stan Rushworth, who will be discussing his latest book We Are the Middle of Forever, which places Indigenous voices at the center of conversations about today’s environmental crisis. Event attendees will be expected to have read the book, which will be provided free of charge to anyone who would like to participate.

Please sign up here for a free copy of the book. If you would like a copy to read over the winter break, please sign up by December 2nd. Registrations received after December 2nd will receive their books in January.

Professor Amanda Smith will email all the registrants with a time to pick up their book.

An American Library Association Notable Book, We Are the Middle of Forever draws on interviews with people from different North American Indigenous cultures and communities, generations, and geographic regions, who share their knowledge and experience, their questions, their observations, and their dreams of maintaining the best relationship possible to all of life. A welcome antidote to the despair arising from the climate crisis, We Are the Middle of Forever will be an indispensable aid to those looking for new and different ideas and responses to the challenges we face.

Stan Rushworth is a teacher of Native American literature and the author of Sam Woods: American Healing, Going to Water: The Journal of Beginning Rain, Diaspora’s Children, and (with Dahr Jamail) We Are the Middle of Forever: Indigenous Voices from Turtle Island on the Changing Earth (The New Press). He lives in Northern California.
