What do these letters tell us about institutionalized relationships, control, and creative resistance? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIntimate and moving, this erudite collaboration among four publicly engaged scholars traces power as it weaves through institutional correspondence. In grappling with official claims of inclusion, the authors examine how EDI-related letters are used by the university to claim a mythical identity -- of being equitable, inclusive, diverse, and decolonizing --while simultaneously warding off criticism. Focused on recuperating the labour and forms of life-writing that members of subordinated groups undertake in institutions, The Letters amplifies structurally marginalized voices to diagnose why and how EDI adversely impacts certain people and poignantly identifies creative ways to intervene against the neoliberal university.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nisha Nath,Rita Kaur Dhamoon,Anita Girvan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1773638106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781773638102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernwood Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Nisha Nath","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48114109120767,"sku":"9781773638102","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5b1c38e1-d979-4590-b42c-b0646ba51ad3.jpg?v=1769619172","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-letters-nisha-nath-9781773638102","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
