{"product_id":"fragments-of-truth-naomi-angel-9781478015932","title":"Fragments of Truth: Residential Schools and the Challenge of Reconciliation in Canada","description":"In 2008, the Canadian government established a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to review the history of the residential school system, a brutal colonial project that killed and injured many Indigenous children and left a legacy of trauma and pain. In \u003ci\u003eFragments of Truth\u003c\/i\u003e Naomi Angel analyzes the visual culture of reconciliation and memory in relation to this complex and painful history. In her analyses of archival photographs from the residential school system, representations of the schools in popular media and literature, and testimonies from TRC proceedings, Angel traces how the TRC served as a mechanism through which memory, trauma, and visuality became apparent. She shows how many Indigenous communities were able to use the TRC process as a way to claim agency over their memories of the schools. Bringing to light the ongoing costs of transforming settler states into modern nations, Angel demonstrates how the TRC offers a unique optic through which to survey the long history of colonial oppression of Canada's Indigenous populations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Naomi Angel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478015934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478015932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Naomi Angel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071490584831,"sku":"9781478015932","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34d115bd-00cd-4356-abcd-12a691039d04.jpg?v=1685436409","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fragments-of-truth-naomi-angel-9781478015932","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
