The legacy of Louis Riel : leader of the Métis people / John Andrew Morrow. by Morrow, John A. (John Andrew), 1971- Baraka Books, 2023. Call #: 971.051 R555L Subjects Riel, Louis, 1844-1885.   Riel, Louis, 1844-1885 -- Political and social views.   Métis -- Prairie Provinces. ISBN:  9781771863155 (lib. bdg.) Description:  296 p. ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "Why does Louis Riel matter? Simply because this man of words and action is regularly enlisted, nearly 140 years after he was hanged, to support a wide variety of causes. And sometimes to combat the very same causes. Louis Riel left behind a vast collection of poety and prose that is in fact a seminal contibution to Canadian literature in French and English. Yet his writings have been largely ignored by both scholars and laypeople. They have written massively about his actions but very little about his words. Based on a comprehensive review of Riel's writing, Morrow examines Riel's views on vital subjects.These include the term Métis; Métis identity, "Indians," Jews, Islam, Quebec, French Canadians, the Irish, the United States, women , liberalism, and Métis unity. Riel's views might rankle readers today. Without toning them down, the author establishes nonetheless the intellectual and political environmnent in which they developed. (...)"--Back cover.
