Reviews
- By inviting us into her home, Maracle reminds us that we inhabit someone else’s space. We come to see that maybe we are the problem and that reconciliation is not a solution — not without restitution. - Julie McGonega, The UC Observerl Link to review
- A very timely work in the era of the botched Canada 150 celebrations and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women inquiry… a powerful and thought provoking read. Highly recommended. - Tom Sandborn, Vancouver Sun Link to review
- Maracle sets the record straight on a few of our beloved myths, including Canada’s current narrative as a model multicultural society. - Kamal Al-Solaylee, Quill & Quire Link to review
- “My Conversations With Canadians"[…] offer[s] strength and solidarity to Indigenous readers, and a generous guide to ally-ship for non-Indigenous readers. For the latter, these books will unsettle, but to engage in allyship is to commit to being unsettled – all the time. - Carleigh Baker, The Globe and Mail Link to review
