"Illuminating the First Nations struggles against the Canadian state,听滨迟鈥檚听All about the Land听exposes how racism underpins and shapes Indigenous-settler relationships. Renowned Kahnaw脿:ke Mohawk activist and scholar Taiaiake Alfred explains how the Canadian government鈥檚 reconciliation agenda is a new form of colonization that is guaranteed to fail. Bringing together Alfred鈥檚 speeches and interviews from over the past two decades, the book shows that Indigenous peoples across the world face a stark choice: reconnect with their authentic cultures and values or continue following a slow road to annihilation.
