From award-winning journalist Joseph Lee, a sweeping, personal exploration of Indigenous identity and the challenges facing Indigenous people around the world.
Before Martha’s Vineyard became one of the most iconic vacation destinations in the country, it was home to the Wampanoag people. Today, as tourists flock to the idyllic beaches, the island has become increasingly unaffordable for tribal members, with nearly three-quarters now living off-island. Growing up Aquinnah Wampanoag, journalist Joseph Lee grappled with what this situation meant for his tribe, how the community can continue to grow, and more broadly, what it means to be Indigenous.
In Nothing More of This Land, Lee weaves his own story and that of his family into a panoramic narrative of Indigenous life around the world. He takes us from the beaches of Martha’s Vineyard to the icy Alaskan tundra, the smoky forests of Northern California to the halls of the United Nations, and beyond. Along the way he meets activists fighting to protect their land, families clashing with their own tribal leaders, and communities working to reclaim tradition.
Together, these stories reject stereotypes to show the diversity of Indigenous people today and chart a way past the stubborn legacy of colonialism.
“A deeply personal account of Lee’s search for identity and a forthright assessment of the modern-day effects of colonialism at home and abroad.”
—Katy Abel, The Provincetown Independent
“Lee’s writing resists the tendency toward mythmaking that’s common to destinations laden with outsize reputations. . . . Engaging. . . . Despite the author’s deep breadth of knowledge — in addition to his lived experience as an Aquinnah Wampanoag, he’s also a journalist who covers Indigenous affairs — he is refreshingly frank about his own misconceptions while coming of age and how he learned to correct them while researching and writing this book. . . . By offering these glimpses into his mind and his own internal conflicts, Lee proves to be an adroit, honest narrator, resisting any desire to wax poetic by instead reminding readers that real people live here. . . . Through a diverse array of sources, Lee offers readers a valuable understanding of the many forms that 21st-century Indigenous life can take and how they might evolve in the future. . . . It’s clear how much Lee cherishes his connection to Martha’s Vineyard, a place that’s easy to love. And in these pages, he’s crafted a must-read for anyone who seeks to know the island with depth that extends well beyond its superficial myths.”
—Boston Globe
“Intimate and lively… Lee’s reflections demand one contemplate not only the governments in Indian Country but the troubled experiment in government that is the United States of America.”
—Philip J. Deloria, The New York Times
“A powerful, genre-crossing memoir that sparkles with clarity and perspective.”
—BookPage
“A searching and timely exploration of indigeneity and its many interpretations.”
—Kirkus (starred review)
“A potent exploration of what it means to be Indigenous. . . . A deft combination of affective memoir and keen journalism, this profound examination on identity and place impresses.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
