Though their descendants still enjoy the economic benefits of their ruthlessness, apologies seem hollow without amends, and what amends can be made for the near destruction of a culture? The men guilty of planning and executing the ethnic cleansing of the Southern Plains are many generations gone. After half a century of sustained violence between the Comanche and encroaching Anglo-Texans, and the American triumphalism, rationalization, and indifference that followed and continue today, the two groups hoped to simply acknowledge what happened between their ancestors and ask each other for help in finding a way forward. ![]() ON AN OVERCAST SEPTEMBER AFTERNOON, 133 years after a way of life ended at Tule Canyon in the Texas Panhandle, a small delegation from Texas Tech University met with Comanche elders and representatives from Comanche Nation College at the Medicine Park Ceremonial Grounds near Lawton, Oklahoma. ![]()

This beloved series continues in the second book, A Royal Disaster. Mia’s wedding plans are interrupted by a scheming usurper who attempts to force Mia’s father from the throne. (Thanks, Meg.)

Khayyam starts the book by reminding us she has her own name and identity, even if that name and identity is often stripped from her by people who pigeonhole her into one space, identity, nationality, or other role. ![]() She’s also a nostalgia trip for someone who grew up in Hyde Park as an infinitely less-cool version of her. ![]() Khayyam is a terrific young adult heroine: smart, savvy, and a great vehicle for the wish-fulfillment of her readers. Ahmed’s heroines are contemporary Hyde Park teenager Khayyam, whose academic parents are embarrassingly in love and who is on a quest to uncover obscured women’s voices, and 19th-century Leila, who seeks to have a voice and a life of her own. ![]() |
