Talking Back to the Indian Act : Critical Readings in Settler Colonial Histories, Hardback Book

Talking Back to the Indian Act : Critical Readings in Settler Colonial Histories Hardback

Edited by Mary-Ellen Kelm, Keith (University of Stirling UK) Smith

Hardback

Description

Talking Back to the Indian Act is a comprehensive "how-to" guide for engaging with primary source documents.

The intent of the book is to encourage readers to develop the skills necessary to converse with primary sources in more refined and profound ways.

As a piece of legislation that is central to Canada's relationship with Indigenous peoples and communities, and one that has undergone many amendments, the Indian Act is uniquely positioned to act as a vehicle for this kind of focused reading. Through an analysis of thirty-five sources pertaining to the Indian Act--addressing governance, gender, enfranchisement, and land--the authors provide readers with a much better understanding of this pivotal piece of legislation, as well as insight into the dynamics involved in its creation and maintenance.
