Publisher's Synopsis
A bold, forward-thinking collection exposing the colonialist ideology embedded within the Canadian settler state-and building strategies to dismantle it
Building on the landmark work On Settler Colonialism in Canada: Lands and Peoples, which reckons with the legacy of the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission Final Report and lays a foundation for understanding the settler state and society, On Settler Colonialism in Canada: Relations and Resistances focuses on carving pathways to decolonial futures.
Bringing together Indigenous, racialized settler, immigrant settler, and white settler perspectives, the book cultivates a dialogue on how reconciliation can become a lived and shared reality. Contributors offer approaches on seeking solutions outside of the settler state, honouring Treaty responsibilities, centering Indigenous knowledge systems, and making space for Indigenous self-determination.
On Settler Colonialism in Canada: Relations and Resistances poses essential questions: what do decolonial efforts look like on the ground today? How do we meaningfully support Indigenous resurgence movements? And what are the responsibilities of the settler in the ongoing work of decolonization?
