When it comes to publishing minority voices and perspectives, there’s no doubt that we’ve come a long way as a society.
One point we can mark our progress from is the publication of “The Education of Little Tree” by Forrest Carter, originally released in 1976, and then a surprise bestseller in 1991 upon its rerelease by the University of New Mexico Press. It was even the first winner of the American Booksellers Association Book of the Year award.
Louise Erdrich won a Pulitzer for writing as an Indigenous person about Indigenous people. Stephen Graham Jones weaves Native American culture into the slasher genre in “My Heart Is a Chainsaw” showing that minority perspectives can be part of the flavoring of the story rather than having to carry the full weight of representation.
In the words of George W. Bush’s famous malaprop, increased diversity will help “make the pie higher.”
