A Snake Falls to Earth (2021) von Darcie Little Badger. Ein Paradebeispiel des indigenen Futurismus und das ungewöhnlichste YA-Buch der letzten Jahre. Die Geschichte eines Lipan-Mädchens, das ums Grundstück seiner Großmutter fürchtet, und eines Schlangenjungen aus der Geisterwelt, lehnt Gewalt als Konfliktlösung kategorisch ab und lebt von der liebevollen Aufmerksamkeit gegenüber kleinen Vorgängen in der Natur.

A Snake Falls to Earth (2021) by Darcie Little Badger. To me this will always be the prime example of Indigenous Futurism. The story of a Lipan girl fearing for her grandmother's land and a snake from the spirit world who have work together to save a species from extinction is different from any other YA book I've ever read. It refrains from solutions through violence and displays an attentive care for nature which I loved.
