Resurgence and Reconciliation: Indigenous-Settler Relations and Earth Teachings

Edited byMichael Asch
Editor: John Borrows
Editor: James Tully

Paperback

Price: $42.95

Overview

The two major schools of thought in Indigenous-Settler relations on the ground, in the courts, in public policy, and in research are resurgence and reconciliation. Resurgence refers to practices of Indigenous self-determination and cultural renewal whereas reconciliation refers to practices of reconciliation between Indigenous and Settler nations, such as nation-with-nation treaty negotiations. Reconciliation also refers to the sustainable reconciliation of both Indigenous and Settler peoples with the living earth as the grounds for both resurgence and Indigenous-Settler reconciliation.

Critically and constructively analyzing these two schools from a wide variety of perspectives and lived experiences, this volume connects both discourses to the ecosystem dynamics that animate the living earth. Resurgence and Reconciliation is multi-disciplinary, blending law, political science, political economy, women’s studies, ecology, history, anthropology, sustainability, and climate change. Its dialogic approach strives to put these fields in conversation and draw out the connections and tensions between them.

By using “earth-teachings” to inform social practices, the editors and contributors offer a rich, innovative, and holistic way forward in response to the world’s most profound natural and social challenges. This timely volume shows how the complexities and interconnections of resurgence and reconciliation and the living earth are often overlooked in contemporary discourse and debate.

Reviews
"Resurgence and Reconciliation: Indigenous-Settler Relations and Earth Teachings makes a sustained contribution to ongoing reconciliatory efforts through the exemplary work of Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars alike."–Tyson Stewart, Nipissing University, Native American and Indigenous Studies
"Resurgence and Reconciliation provides a broader critical framework from which readers may begin to reset the charged political landscape of reconciliation. In the quickly expanding literature, law, and activism, some of the urgency of reconciliation has been unnecessarily lost. This book calls for quiet contemplation and a peaceful reframing of discussion and negotiations in what has become a noisy, busy field of Canada's national reconciliation project."–Jeffery G. Hewitt, Faculty of Law, University of Windsor
"This collection represents a sustained and engaged dialogue between eminent and emerging scholars of Indigenous rights as they attempt to conceptualize, critique, collaborate, and document relationships of reconciliation and resurgence. The editors and contributors take on the complex debates, challenges, intersections, and fractions facing Canadians, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, making this a profoundly important counter-colonial work."–Jane McMillan, Department of Anthropology, St Francis Xavier University
"In their discussions of resurgence and its relationship to reconciliation, the editors and contributors present a very pressing issue, shedding much-needed light on current debates surrounding Indigenoussettler relations."–Bruce Granville Miller, Department of Anthropology, University of British Columbia
