Summary: Good if you love the topic
Review: Homosexuality in pre-colonial Native American societies disproves this idea that the only "gay-affirming" culture that ever existed was Greek (and white). A huge audience for and books about gay Native Americans have been born. Whereas Sue-Ellen Jacobs' book is more anthropological, this book is more social work-oriented. It talks about the issues that social workers will face in serving some gay and lesbian Native Americans. Again, this is another white-edited and -authored book on the topic, and I can't wait until a Native gay person takes the wheel on such a project. Also, this volume is slim and easy to read within a day or two. If you love the topic, you should add this to your collection. Otherwise, you may want to select the other books out there first.
