My Place Among Them by J. Stanion Wins Books for Humanity Global Book of the Week

Seneca, South Carolina, United States, 14th Oct 2024, -
 

J. Stanion’s historical fiction novel, My Place Among Them, has been named the Books for Humanity Global Book of the Week. This recognition highlights the novel’s compelling exploration of cultural assimilation and survival after the Wounded Knee massacre. The book examines the life of John Iron Horse, a Lakota boy, and Carter Heath, a government teacher, as they tackle the conflicts of forced Indigenous education in America’s boarding schools.

Stanion’s novel addresses the devastating effects of policies designed to strip Indigenous children of their cultural identity, under the ethos to “Kill the Indian, save the man.” The emotional core of the story lies in the relationship between John and Carter, showing how human connection can transcend the systemic oppression of the time. The novel has been celebrated for its emotional depth and historical accuracy, with Books for Humanity stating that the book "shows how the heartache of history meets the enduring human spirit" in its portrayal of cultural survival.

My Place Among Them continues to earn praise from readers and critics alike, reflecting Stanion’s ability to blend family legacy with rich historical piece. The book has previously been awarded the BREW Seal of Excellence and the 2024 Silver Medal Global Book Award for Cultural Heritage Fiction, among many other accolades.
