Anna Redsand writes from her lived experience as a White woman who grew up and worked between postcolonial Diné (Navajo) and White cultures. Through stories and reflection, she explores bicultural belonging and identity, the role of language in identity, and the effects of colonization. In her most recent book, an essay collection, Fissure: A Life Between Cultures, she looks into her settler heritage as the daughter of evangelical missionaries in the Navajo Nation, continuing through her later work in Diné (Navajo) bilingual-bicultural education. She probes how colonization has been part of systemic racism in the US and the debt she may owe to the Indigenous culture that continues to play a part in her life. She identifies is as a Third Culture Kid (TCK) and a cisgender lesbian. Other books include a spiritual memoir, To Drink from the Silver Cup, and Viktor Frankl: A Life Worth Living, a biography of Holocaust survivor and author of Man's Search for Meaning. She lives in Iowa.
