Canada and colonialism : an unfinished history. by Reynolds, James I.;
"Colonialism endures in Canada today. Dismantling it requires understanding how and why Canada's colonial experience in the British Empire remains unique. While colonies like India were ruled through despotism and violence, Canada's white settler population governed itself while oppressing the Indigenous peoples whose lands they were on. Canada and Colonization shows that this settler-led self-governance is why colonialism is still entrenched in Canadian laws and society to today. Author Jim Reynolds presents a truly compelling account of Canada's colonial coming of age and its impacts on Indigenous peoples, including the internal colonialism behind the Indian Act and those who enforced it. This book also addresses the historical and ongoing Anglo-Canadian support for colonial rule and how this perpetuates colonialism. It is this continuing legacy that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission implored Canada to recognize and address before reconciliation and decolonization could take place. As one of Canada's leading experts in Aboriginal law, author Jim Reynolds highlights the historical underpinnings and contemporary challenges Canada must reckon with to move toward decolonization."--Library Bound Incorporated
