She woke in a new home, with a new family and a new name--her former life fading to a ghost of a memory. The only place she ever felt like she fit in was with her grandmother--her Bubbe--who listened to her and made her chicken soup and wrapped her in her loving arms. Until one day...the girl discovered the truth. And her beloved Bubbe helped her on her journey to claim her identity, her voice--and her name.Together, Na'kuset and Judith Henderson tell the powerful story of the Indigenous experience for a child during the Sixities Scoop. Cree illustrator Onedove shared how inspired they are by Na'kuset's story and activism, and that is made evident in the tender and vivid illustrations that bring Na'kuset's story to life.

Paradoxes of Social Capital
Paradoxes of Social Capital critically examines the robustness of social capital theory as an analytical tool in explaining the various 'integration' patterns amongst Moroccans in London. The book also considers how structural factors impact on the ways in which Moroccans - across generations - sustain, access and use social capital at the levels of family, ethnic community, migrant associations and schools.

An original model of studying the second-generation processes of adaptation - viewed as 'transversal adaptation'- is also introduced, shifting the focus from predetermined 'integration' patterns to a circular and a longitudinal approach to 'integration', where new opportunities and constraints emerge, structured by the temporal flow of life trajectories.
