Arrows in a Quiver

Written in an accessible style and ideal for classroom use, Arrows in a Quiver provides an overview of Indigenous-settler relations, including how land is central to Indigenous identity and how the Canadian state 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 useful introduction to Indigenous issues, especially for post-secondary students in Canada." --Jonathan Dewar, co-editor of Cultivating Canada: Reconciliation through the Lens of Cultural Diversity

Scrisa intr-un stil accesibil si ideal pentru utilizarea la clasa, Sagetile intr-o tolba ofera o imagine de ansamblu asupra relatiilor indigeni-colonisti, inclusiv modul in care pamantul este esential pentru identitatea indigena si modul in care statul canadian marginalizeaza indigenii. Ilustrand diferitele „sageti intr-o tolba” pe care indigenii le folosesc pentru a lupta inapoi, cum ar fi organizarea la nivel local, angajamentul politic si instantele, Frideres situeaza „colonialismul colonistilor” istoric si explica de ce decolonizarea necesita o transformare fundamentala a politicii guvernamentale de lunga durata. pentru ca impacarea sa aiba loc.
