Cultivating Canada : reconciliation through the lens of cultural diversity

Mathur, Ashok, (editor.). Dewar, Jonathan, (editor.). DeGagne, Mike, (editor.).

Summary: The third in a three-volume series addressing the complex notion of reconciliation in a national landscape. The Aboriginal Healing Foundation brings together disparate voices to address how communities -- immigrant, racialized, 'new' Canadians and other minoritized groups relate to the intricacies of reconciliation as a concept. Many of the contributers address questions of land, Aboriginal histories, and different trajectories that have led to the current configuration and conglomeration of peoples in this geographic space. And, a central organizing principle of this collection is artistic practice, of specifically in how embedding creative acts within critical responses helps to create a relevant framework of possibilities as we move inexorably into uncertain futures."--back cover.
