A bold, forward-thinking collection exposing the colonialist ideology embedded within the Canadian settler state--and building strategies to dismantle it On Settler Colonialism in Canada: Relations & Resistances presents strategies for carving pathways to decolonial futures. It builds on the landmark work On Settler Colonialism in Canada: Lands & Peoples, which reckons with the legacy of the 2015 Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Final Report and lays a foundation for understanding the settler state and society. Bringing together Indigenous, racialized settler, immigrant settler, and white settler perspectives, the book cultivates a dialogue on how reconciliation can become a lived and shared reality. Contributors offer approaches on seeking solutions outside of the settler state, honouring Treaty responsibilities, centering Indigenous knowledge systems, and making space for Indigenous self-determination. On Settler Colonialism in Canada: Relations and Resistances poses essential questions: what do decolonial efforts look like on the ground today? How do we meaningfully support Indigenous resurgence movements? And what are the responsibilities of the settler in the ongoing work of decolonization?

"A thoughtful, indispensable multi-perspective contribution to the work of decolonizing settler-Indigenous relations and depowering settler colonialism in Canada through truth, self-reflection, and resurgence."--Alan Hanna "On Settler Colonialism in Canada disrupts the Euro-settler/Indigenous reconciliation narrative to include racialized un/settlers. The book's polyphony of voices, styles, and experiences stitches patches of critical truth to samples of non-colonial difference to swatches of practical uplift. This diverse collection, this unsettling quilt, this dis-comforter, is not a display item but a sturdy necessity designed for everyday use."--David Garneau
