The field of Métis Studies has been afflicted by a longstanding tendency to situate Métis within deeply racialized contexts, and\/or by an overwhelming focus on the nineteenth century. This volume challenges the pervasive racialization of Métis studies with multidisciplinary chapters on identity, history, politics, literature, spirituality, religion, and kinship networks, reorienting the conversation toward Métis experiences today. In the process, this timely collection dismantles the narrow notions that continue to shape political, legal, and social understanding of Métis existence, and convincingly demonstrates a more robust approach to Métis studies that centres Métis peoplehood and nationhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an important text, which has been carefully edited to bring disparate voices together in a way that creates a resonance. -- Lyle Ford, University of Manitoba Libraries * Prairie History *\u003cbr\u003eThis is a timely, potentially paradigm-shifting book. -- B.
