About this book

By bringing to light the links between narratives of contact and narratives of arrival in settler societies, this volume opens up new ways to imagine, sustain, and transform political communities.
An exploration of the role of storytelling in community and nation building that disrupts the assumption in many works that indigenous and immigrant identities fall into two separate streams of analysis.

Reviews

Bruno Cornellier, Centre for Globalization and Cultural Studies, University of Manitoba:
The book is a welcome addition to the recent work of scholars such as Andrea Smith, Patrick Wolfe, Sherene Razack and Sunera Thobani, who have drawn fundamental connections between the structural elimination of Native peoples and the racialization of (and violence against) non-Native minority groups in settler colonial states.

Shauna Van Praagh, Faculty of Law, McGill University:
It is neither easy nor commonplace in contemporary Canada to realize a coming together of storytellers and scholars immersed in Aboriginal identities on one hand and recent immigrant identities on the other. That is what this book promises and largely delivers.

Constance MacIntosh, Faculty of Law, Dalhousie University:
Delightfully original and daring ... Storied Communities presents the most original and challenging uses of narrative methodology as a tool for legal and political analysis.
