The land we are : artists & writers unsettle the politics of reconciliation / edited by Gabrielle L'Hirondelle Hill & Sophie McCall.

McCall, Sophie, 1969- (editor.). Hill, Gabrielle L'Hirondelle, (editor.).

Summary:

"The Land We Are is a stunning collection of writing and art that interrogates the current era of reconciliation in Canada. Using visual, poetic, and theoretical language, the contributors approach reconciliation as a problematic narrative about Indigenous-settler relations, but also as a site where conversations about a just future must occur. The result of a four-year collaboration between artists and scholars engaged in resurgence and decolonization, The Land We Are is a moving dialogue that blurs the boundaries between activism, research, and the arts." -- Provided by publisher.
