About This Item
Regina, SK: University of Regina Press, 2013. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; 1 cm tear with associated creases to upper back inside corner of dust jacket; scratch to back of dj; otherwise very minimal wear; In arresting, but harrowing, prose, Daschuk examines the roles that Old World diseases, climate, and Canadian politics - the politics of ethnocide - played in the deaths and subjugation of thousands of aboriginal people in the realization of Sir John a. Macdonald's "National Dream." It was a dream that came at great expense: the present disparity in health and economic well-being between First Nations and non-Native populations, and the lingering racism and misunderstanding that permeates the national consciousness to this day.
