Potsdam Postcolonial Studies Collective: Reading and Discussion with Drew Hayden Taylor

On Friday, November 7, the renowned Indigenous writer Drew Hayden Taylor from Turtle Island, Canada, will read from his latest novel Cold at the University of Potsdam. Taking tropes from the murder mystery, police procedural, thriller, and horror genres, the novel is a pageturner that makes the streets of Toronto the setting of Indigenous life and stories, both traditional and contemporary.
