Arrows in a Quiver: From Contact to the Courts in Indigenous-Canadian Relations

Description: Arrows in a Quiver by James Frideres Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A comprehensive political and legal overview of Indigenous-settler relations in Canada, written at a level appropriate for both college and university students. Publisher Description In response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commissions report, Arrows in a Quiver provides an overview of Indigenous-settler relations, including how land is central to Indigenous identity and how the Canadian state systematically marginalizes Indigenous people. Illustrating the various "arrows in a quiver" that Indigenous people use to fight back, such as grassroots organizing, political engagement, and the courts, Frideres situates "settler colonialism" historically and explains why decolonization requires a fundamental transformation of long-standing government policy for reconciliation to occur. The historical, political, and social context provided by this text offers greater understanding and theorizes what the effective devolution of government power might look like. A comprehensive political and legal overview of Indigenous-settler relations in Canada, written at a level appropriate for post-secondary students, this book is an essential primer for understanding these key relations in Canada today.
