LaRocque (Native studies, U. of Manitoba) critically surveys the Canadian historical and literary record from 1850 to 1990, focusing on how colonial writing by whites (and some indigenous) has
consistently served to dehumanize the indigenous of Canada, the social effects of that dehumanization in history and currently, and how Native writers have produced decolonizing
counter-narratives that resist dehumanization and reconstruct more humanizing paradigms. Distributed in the US by Michigan State U. Press. Annotation 穢2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
