Review Quotes:
How did Canada become white? Dispossession, erasure, and a sham multiculturalism. This extraordinary volume of essays exposes settler violence and fraudulent claims of 'inclusion' and offers instead a long, deep, and often hidden history of Black struggles for freedom, power, and self-determination. It should be required reading, not only for Canadians but for all of us on occupied Turtle Island and around the world.
- Robin D.G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical
