Drawn from Montour’s first-hand experiences at Mount Elgin Indian Residential School between 1910 and 1915, the book is an ironic play on “the school novel,” namely 1857’s \u003cem\u003eTom Brown’s Schooldays\u003c\/em\u003e by Thomas Hughes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn accomplished literary text and uncommon chronicle of federal Indian schooling in the early twentieth century, \u003cem\u003eBrown Tom’s Schooldays\u003c\/em\u003e positions Brown Tom and his schoolmates as citizens of three worlds: the reserve, the “white man’s world,” and the school in between.
