We Interrupt This Program

Greg Macdougall:

[We Interrupt this Program] provides an analytical perspective to help readers reflect on what types of new interruptions may be brewing – or to plan the interventions themselves.

Marian Bredin, co-editor of Indigenous Screen Cultures in Canada:
Through engaging and well-balanced snapshots of the past decade in Indigenous arts, media, and journalism in Canada, this book offers fresh insights into recent political and cultural transformations. It is an indispensable resource for students of Indigenous media and contemporary culture and an essential addition to the shelves of professionals and others in Canada’s cultural and media industries.

Kristin L. Dowell, author of Sovereign Screens: Aboriginal Media on the Canadian West Coast:
We Interrupt This Program is a superb account of contemporary settler Canadian and Indigenous relationships as expressed in art, media, and public discourse. Its examples are wide-ranging and encompass multiple media domains and the multiple voices, stories, and perspectives of artists, filmmakers, journalists, and community members.

Ryan McMahon, comedian, writer, media maker, and community activator:
We Interrupt This Program highlights the urgent need to centre Indigenous voices in Canada. For too long, Canada’s settler myths have gone unchecked. It’s time to hear Indigenous people say, from the top of our lungs, “We’re still here! We’ve always been here! We’ll always be here! ... And these are our stories.”
