Decolonization in Practice: Reflective Learning from Cross-cultural Perspectives
English
By (author): Helen Casey Joanna Heijmer Katherine Bilsborough Kirstie Grainger Steve Bilsborough Suzanne Torres
This edited collection asks, How do we understand anti-racist practice as a framework for reconciliation? How can we identify areas of obstacle and opportunity? and How can we take responsibility for decolonizing our ways of knowing and acting? These questions are asked in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's assertion that meaningful engagement among Indigenous Peoples and non-Indigenous people will be key in advancing reconciliation through anti-racist solidarity. Contributors share personal decolonial stories and explore taking responsibility for building a decolonial community from and within everyday practice for transforming our learning into action to achieve social and environmental justice goals.
This unique collection serves a variety of courses, including as a primary text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in Canada focused on decolonization, as a supplementary text for introductory-level courses in Canada that are incorporating discussions of decolonization, and as a primary or supplementary text for international courses.
