"'Unsettling Canada :a national wake-up call' tells a captivating narrative of activism, identity and lived experience, tracing Indigenous rights and land claims stuggles in this country between the 1960s and 2000s. Manuel and Derrickson engage with the history of political activism as insiders. Hence, the book makes an important contribution on this understudied period through personal insight on everything from the internal debates within the grassroots movement for equity and sovereignty, to how leaders balance the pressures of activism and family life. Not only is the book highly readable and broadly accessible to those in this country, it has an even wider reach in scope as it demonstrates the impact of Indigenous people from Canada like Manuel had on the global stage and in global activists' strategies. The book is grounded in INdigenous intellectual traditions and perspectives, and carries the timely message about how bringing justice to Indigenous peoples will also create more sustainable Canada. --Canadian Historical Association prize jury."--Back cover.
