Description
Book SynopsisMaking and Breaking Settler Space reveals decolonization opportunities for Indigenous and settler people alike through an exploration of how power and space are organized under settler colonialism.
Trade ReviewMaking and Breaking Settler Space offers important points of conversation and contestation as we continue to figure out what it means to live together in this place, and how we should go about doing something about it. -- Coll Thrush * BC Studies *
"Barker takes readers on a critical thought journey through relationships between past, present, and future complexities of settler colonialism, space, place, and identity."
-- Mark T.S. Currie, Carleton University. * University of Toronto Quarterly. *
Barker’s work presents a strong synthesis of recent work in settler studies. It testifies to his comprehensive understanding, as a self-acknowledged settler, of the dynamics that have presided over the construction of ongoing and structural North American inequities between settler and indigenous peoples. -- S. Perreault, Red Deer Polytechnic * Choice *
