New World Coming: Frontline Voices on Pandemics, Uprisings, and Climate Crisis

Holly says: So many books I encounter written by and about the Diné people and culture either look back, or are informed by, the wealth of history and mythology of this community and culture. This collection offered a unique and fascinating perspective of what now lies ahead of us and some of the struggles encountered in this moment in time, including the unique experience of the Navajo Nation during the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. Encompassing both Diné voices and those of other BIPOC writers, I found these essays and poems to be inspiring, confronting, thought-provoking, and unlike anything else I’ve recently read.
