The book examines how settler identities are fashioned in opposition to nature and how eras of settler colonialism have come to be defined. Scholars and thinkers explore how settlers understood themselves as servants of empire, how settler identities came to be predicated on racialization and white supremacy, and more recently, how they have been constructed in relation to multiculturalism.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Featuring perspectives from Indigenous, Black, mixed-race, and other racialized, queer, and white European-descended thinkers from across a range of disciplines, \u003ci\u003eOn Settler Colonialism in Canada: Lands and Peoples\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the fundamental truths of this country. Essays engage contemporary questions on the legacy of displacement that settler colonialism has wrought for Indigenous people and racialized settlers caught up in the global implications of empire.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Asserting that reconciliation is a shared endeavor, the collection’s final section exposes the myth at the heart of Canada’s constitutional legitimacy and describes the importance of affirming Indigenous rights, protecting Indigenous people (especially women) from systemic violence, and holding the Canadian settler nation state—which has benefited from the creation and maintenance of genocidal institutions for generations—accountable. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David MacDonald (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":47595189076190,"sku":"9781779400642","price":36.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0425\/4567\/6440\/files\/BNCImageAPI_f8983303-a48d-483c-baf6-64f1cca0431b.jpg?v=1760052457","url":"https:\/\/paragraphbooks.com\/products\/9781779400642","provider":"Librairie Paragraphe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
