Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Donna Postel delivers an enthralling performance that perfectly complements Kim TallBear's meticulous analysis of DNA testing’s impact on Native American communities. Her narration is a steady, soothing presence throughout the ten hours, making it easy to lose track of time as you follow along. The narrative pacing is just right, balancing technical explanations with poignant personal stories, which keeps the listener engaged and emotionally invested. However, some sections delve deeply into legal and scientific jargon, potentially overwhelming those without a background in these fields. Despite this, 'Native American DNA' remains a compelling listen that will challenge your perceptions of identity and rights.
