Author Description

"Our 3rd edition of Racism, Colonialism, and Indigeneity in Canada follows on the heels of several significant developments and events in Canada. Following from the publication of our second edition in 2018, we provide a brief overview of some of these developments in Chapter Fifteen of this volume, including the resurgent and historic Land Back initiative aimed at recuperating economic control and territory across Turtle Island; the Wet'suwet'en defending their land from the Coastal GasLink pipeline project; the insistence by Mi'kmaq lobster fishers of their sovereign right to fish without interferences by non-Indigenous peoples and Fisheries and Oceans Canada (CBC News, 12 July 2022a); Red Dress Day, and the Every Child Matters movements marked by the now yearly Orange Shirt Day and other initiatives aimed at creating and rejuvenating "meaningful reconciliation in Canada" (National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation)"--
