In \u003ci\u003eThe Theatre of Regret\u003c\/i\u003e, David Gaertner challenges state-centered reconciliation movements and explores ways Indigenous and allied artists and writers play in defining, challenging, and rejecting settler regret. Across the four key phases of reconciliation--acknowledgment, apology, redress, and forgiveness--Gaertner uncovers the failures of Canadian and global reconciliation efforts to hear Indigenous peoples. In so doing, he exposes the colonial ideologies that both define and limit reconciliation in settler-colonial states. Redirecting current debate, \u003ci\u003eThe Theatre of Regret \u003c\/i\u003epoints the way out from the state-centered language of regret toward a future of equitable justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Gaertner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774865369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774865364\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 08\/25\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"David Gaertner","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43993719177471,"sku":"9780774865364","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6030a1c1-4552-4541-a61d-575248cb8056.jpg?v=1683325916","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-theatre-of-regret-david-gaertner-9780774865364","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
