I Am Jason Littlebear

About the Book

I am Jason Littlebear is a work that represents a bold attempt to shed light on a story no one dared to tell. It describes the life of an Indigenous young man who perseveres in the face of overwhelming odds. Jason Littlebear wants the world to know that there is dignity in resilience throughout the epic struggle of man against a rigged system. In a desperate attempt to fi nd success, he delves into every lifestyle possible, setting the bar very low; yet even that ends in failure. This novel is praised by its editors for its concise and powerful storytelling—short and sweet—like the literary career of the author, cut short by age. The reader is encouraged to read the author’s three other books: A Dip at the Sangam, which depicts the story of the author’s great grandfather, who was “tricked” into indentureship to brutal toil at a sugar plantation in British Guiana. Road to Belwasa is a memoir detailing the author’s career and his lifelong quest to fi nd his ancestral roots that fi nally led him to a small rural village called Belwasa in Bihar, India. The Incredibly Real Adentures of Shankar Singh gives fi rst-hand experience of the protagonist’s journey through a perspective that acts as a window into the exploits of one of India’s greatest freedom fi ghters and his commitment to India’s independence.
