The Legacy of Louis Riel: The Leader of the M騁is People (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781771863155)

The Legacy of Louis Riel provides an overview of the ideas that guided the leader of the M騁is people. Louis Riel was a prolific writer. Based on a comprehensive review of Riel's writing, the author examines his views on a variety of vital subjects, including the definition of the term M騁is; matters of M騁is identity; the condition, characteristics, and future of the First Nations; Jewish people and their need for statehood; Islam, as an ally of liberalism and a threat to Christianity and Western civilization; Quebec, as a nation state and protector of the M騁is people; French Canadians, as part of the M騁is family; the exceptionalism of the United States; the place and role of women; liberalism as the most evil of ideologies; and the imperative need of M騁is unity. These relevant and timely topics, some of which have been sidelined or entirely ignored, are sure to stoke considerable controversy in our current social context. In so doing, it is hoped that this study will increase our understanding of Louis Riel, his thought, and his writings, and help create greater cohesion among M騁is communities throughout North America at a time when attempts are being made to divide them.
