A Really Good Brown Girl

By Marilyn Dumont | Brick Books (2015)

First published in 1996, A Really Good Brown Girl is a fierce, honest and courageous account of what it takes to grow into one’s self and one’s Métis heritage in the face of myriad institutional and cultural obstacles. It is an indispensable contribution to Canadian literature.

Praise for A Really Good Brown Girl:

“No other book so exonerates us, elevates us and at the same time indicts Canada in language so eloquent it almost hurts to hear it.” — Lee Maracle, from the Introduction
