Reviews

Jon Reyhner, Department of Educational Specialties, Northern Arizona University:

The contributors to Power through Testimony provide an important commentary on the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada and the limitations of its mandate.

Tricie Lea-Scott, Heriot-Watt University, Dubai:
Power Through Testimony provides a rich and nuanced exploration of the complex dynamics of ‘reconciliation’ that is indeed valuable in understanding the legacy of residential schools as it continues to unfold.
