After generating discussion and recommendations, these formal efforts to name the violence of settler colonialism can fail to directly affect policy change. Kim Stanton provides an in-depth analysis of factors that hamper a commission's ability to achieve its mandate, with practical advice on leadership, process, and how to make future recommendations heard. Acknowledging the risks inherent in their use, Stanton nevertheless contends that inquiries create necessary opportunities to shift public attitudes, a vital first step in the battle for policy change. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kim Stanton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774866667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774866668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/04\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.87d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2023","brand":"Kim Stanton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075416748287,"sku":"9780774866668","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07b4530f-4a24-465c-b389-49640014f699.jpg?v=1685459293","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reconciling-truths-kim-stanton-9780774866668","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
