Calling for a
Blanket Dance

 “We need these characters and their testimonies. But more than that, we crave –I crave—this kind of honest storytelling. These rhythms. These dances. This beauty. This welcoming to a place where the people speak and are unafraid.”
—Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, author of The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois

“A profound reflection on the intergenerational nature of cultural trauma… Hokeah’s characters exist at the intersection of Kiowa, Cherokee and Mexican identity, which provides a vital exploration of indigeneity in contemporary American letters.”
—The New York Times Book Review
 
“Quaking with age-old righteous anger but nevertheless luminescent with hope.”
