book review: native

title: Native: Identity, Belonging, and Rediscovering God
author: Kaitlin B. Curtice
publisher: Brazos Press
date: 2020

Kaitlin Curtice has written a book that is part autobiography, part cultural analysis, part theological reflection. She addresses the (bad) connection between faith and whiteness.
I wish more would read this and understand this.
Her poetry adds not only to the pleasure of reading this book, but brings in first nations imagery.

Kaitlin is an Indigenous woman. And she writes from that perspective. But her book is full of grace as she helps evangelical white people understand something more of the Creator’s beloved creation
Incorporating the Indigenous worldview that has always known of the Other, and of Mystery, she invites the reader to expand his/her view of the colonial past and present of North America and it’s enmeshment with the western church.
