Rezensionen

'A narrative as propulsive and affecting as it is infuriating'

VANITY FAIR

'Nagle's gripping historical and legal chronicle sheds light on a centuries-long struggle for Indigenous sovereignty and tribal land in Oklahoma'

NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

'This richly reported book centres on McGirt v. Oklahoma, a Supreme Court case that, when it was decided, in 2020, reaffirmed Native American sovereignty over large parts of the state... Throughout the book, Nagle places these events in the context of centuries of injustice'

NEW YORKER

'A fascinating book and an important one... She compellingly describes not

only the historical wrongs committed against Indigenous peoples, but also how we can't excuse those wrongs by assuming that they were acceptable to their contemporaries because of some kind of lesser moral standard'

WASHINGTON POST

'Terrific... Nagle writes with sensitivity and empathy for the Native American communities she grew up in and around'

ATLANTIC

'A powerful history....Blending reportage and historical research into a propulsive narrative that reads like a legal thriller....Detailed and impassioned, it's a gripping corrective to the historical record, and not to be missed'

ESQUIRE

'Breathtaking: essential reading for anyone yet to understand who US law exists to serve, and who it exists to exploit. Nagle's book achieves impeccable balance; it's a call for hope which still never loses sight of the labour and blood underpinning every victory in this rigged system. A triumph'

NOREEN MASUD, author of A Flat Place

'Compellingly told and deeply researched, Nagle's timely work brilliantly reveals the sweeping and yet profoundly personal consequences of ongoing Indigenous struggles for sovereignty'

CAROLINE DODDS PENNOCK, author of On Savage Shores

'A fiery account as chilling as a legal thriller... By the Fire We Carry is a clear and courageous call for justice'

TIYA MILES, author of All that She Carried
