Bøger af Mary Jane Logan McCallum

Examines an Indigenous life and death in a Canadian city, and what it reveals about the ongoing history of colonialism. This story tells us about indigeneity in the City of Winnipeg through one man's experience and restores the complex humanity denied him in his interactions with Canadian health and legal systems, both before and after his death.

Presents case studies of Indigenous domestic servants, hairdressers, community health representatives, and nurses working in "modern Native ways" between 1940 and 1980. Based on a range of sources, Mary Jane Logan McCallum shows how state-run education and placement programmes were part of Canada's larger vision of assimilation and extinguishment of treaty obligations.
