Description

The July 2010 edition of the journal Race & Class is a special issue: ‘Canada: colonial amnesia and the legacy of empire’ guest edited by David Austin, Sean Mills and Scott Rutherford.

With contributions from fourteen Canadian activists and scholars it reveals how the prevailing narrative of a peaceful, immigrant-welcoming, safe and economically prosperous nation, spared from the ugly histories of colonialism and imperialism, is not simply flawed but quite untrue.
