Racism, colonialism, and indigeneity in Canada : a reader
Xwi7xwa Library, University of British Columbia

Book
Contributors
Cannon, Martin John; Sunseri, Lina
Description
"The history of institutional racism directed at Indigenous nations defies simple categorization. In Racism, Colonialism, and Indigeneity in Canada, Martin Cannon and Linda Sunseri present more than two dozen articles, most of them by Indigenous scholars, exploring how the interplay of racism and colonialism has shaped the lives of Indigenous people in areas ranging from family relations and personal identity to citizenship, territorial rights, education, and criminal justice. As the editors put it, their objective is double: 'to provide insight into what can be done to address historic wrongdoings' and to 'envision a different path, one where the founding principles of the Two-Row Wampum are re-established'." -- back cover.
