Dangling in the Glimmer of Hope: Academic Action on Truth and Reconciliation - Paperback

by Garry Gottfriedson (Editor), Victoria Handford (Editor), Christian (Contribution by)

Dangling in the Glimmer of Hope: Academic Action on Truth and Reconciliation invites and demonstrates actions by academics in relation to some of the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). Poetry, short stories, and children's stories sit alongside academic chapters, mixing personal and academic voices to challenge and engage both the head and the heart about what Truth and Reconciliation--and the Calls to Action--require of us all.

Garry Gottfriedson, Victoria Handford, and their collaborators invite readers not only to explore the diverse facets of Indigenous identity, but to embark on a transformative, collective journey towards mutual understanding and respect.

Contributions by Dorothy Cucw-la7 Christian, Georgann Cope Watson, Garry Gottfriedson, Victoria (Tory) Handford, Sarah Ladd, Patricia Liu, Baergen, Tina Matthew, Rod McCormick, Gloria Ramirez, Fred Schaub, and Bernita Wienhold-Leahy.
