About this book

A novel and compelling account of how Canada’s highest court continues to be haunted by the colonial past.
Drawing on history, international law, and recent decision-making in the Supreme Court, this book seeks the truth behind allegations that Canadian law continues to colonize Indigenous peoples.

Reviews

Peter H. Russell, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Toronto and author of Recognizing Aboriginal Title:
This book has impressive scholarly depth, and in a systematic and challenging way makes a major contribution to understanding and assessing the Supreme Court’s decision-making with respect to Aboriginal peoples in the quarter century since Aboriginal and treaty rights have been formally recognized in Canada’s Constitution.
