The research collective pursues questions which, for all their focus on the details of asset liquidation -- of properties, footholds, intergenerational possibilities, built up slowly and patiently -- are not 'instead of' but deeply part of the human story of the internment. New ethnography and archival research with financial, community, and state records expose the variety of responses by Japanese Canadians, the multiplicity of logics into which officials folded racism, the breadth and variety of complicities. \u003ci\u003eLandscapes of Injustice\u003c\/i\u003e is vital reading for our moment of thinking about historical wrongs and the (im)possibility of reparations.\" Jennifer Henderson, Associate Professor, Carleton University, co-editor, \u003ci\u003eReconciling Canada: Critical Perspectives on the Culture of Redress\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Well written, clearly and effectively conceived and argued throughout, and intensely moving at times, \u003ci\u003eLandscapes of Injustice\u003c\/i\u003e is a significant book that both sheds light on the processes of dispossession and racial injustice and demonstrates the utility of collaboration to historians. ... [The authors] have created a deeply important work that challenges long-held beliefs about Canadian exceptionalism. In much the same way that historians have emphasized Canada's status as a settler colonial state, opposed Canada's growing militarism, or highlighted the ways in which violence served as an organizing force in Canadian colonial history, this book serves as a clarion call to Canadians that racism, government oppression, and cruelty do not stop at the forty-ninth parallel on their way north.\" H-Net\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eLandscapes of Injustice\u003c\/i\u003e is a particularly impressive and unprecedented study ...
