...I talk about Eric Gansworth's If I Ever Get Out of Here:

If I Ever Get Out of Here’s Lewis isn’t the only kid from the reservation at his school. He is the only kid from the rez in the advanced-track classes, though, so he’s still the odd man out. He doesn’t have anyone to commiserate with in the moment, to compare notes with, to collaborate on decoding white culture. At the same time, he can see how his peers are faring on a daily basis: most notably, his sort-of friend Carson, who deals with the situation by passing as white AND becoming friends with the biggest bully—who is also a huge racist—at school.
