Settler : identity and colonialism in 21st century Canada  Cover Image Book Book

Settler : identity and colonialism in 21st century Canada / Emma Battell Lowman and Adam J. Barker.

Battell Lowman, Emma, (author.). Barker, Adam J., (author.).

Summary:

"Through an engaging, and sometimes enraging, look at the relationships between Canada and Indigenous nations, Settler: Identity and Colonialism in 21st Century Canada explains what it means to be Settler and argues that accepting this identity is an important first step towards changing those relationships. Being Settler means understanding that Canada is deeply entangled in the violence of colonialism, and that this colonialism and pervasive violence continue to define contemporary political, economic and cultural life in Canada. It also means accepting our responsibility to struggle for change. Settler offers important ways forward--ways to decolonize relationships between Settler Canadians and Indigenous peoples--so that we can find new ways of being on the land, together."-- From publisher's website.
