31:40Now PlayingYou already know we love books here on Code Switch — and given that we're smack dab in the middle of Native American Heritage month, we thought we'd introduce you to some of our favorite recent books by Indigenous authors.
This episode was first published November 17, 2021.
This time around we spoke to Louise Erdrich, author of The Sentence, Cherie Dimaline, author of Hunting by Stars, Angeline Boulley, author of Fire Keeper's Daughter, and David A Robertson, author of The Barren Grounds.
We'll be featuring interviews with the authors on the blog later this week — in the meantime, listen to this week's ep and let us know on Twitter (we're @nprcodeswitch) what books by Indigenous authors you've loved this year.
WHAT IS “CODE SWITCH”?
It's the fearless conversations about race that you've been waiting for. Hosted by journalists of color, our podcast tackles the subject of race with empathy and humor. We explore how race affects every part of society — from politics and pop culture to history, food and everything in between. This podcast makes all of us part of the conversation — because we're all part of the story. Code Switch was named Apple Podcasts' first-ever Show of the Year in 2020.
