A follow-up to Claiming Anishinaabe, Gehl v Canada is the story of Lynn Gehl's lifelong journey of survival against the nation-state's constant genocidal assault against her existence.
While Canada set up its colonial powers--including the Supreme Court, House of Commons, Senate Chamber, and the Residences of the Prime Minister and Governor General--on her traditional Algonquin territory, usurping the riches and resources of the land, Gehl was pushed to the margins, exiled to a life of poverty in Toronto's inner-city. With only beads in her pocket, she spent her entire life fighting back, and now offers an insider analysis of Indian Act litigation, the narrow remedies the court imposes, and of obfuscating parliamentary discourse, as well as an important critique of the methodology of legal positivism. Drawing on social identity and Indigenous theories, the author presents Disenfranchised Spirit Theory, revealing insights into the identity struggles facing Indigenous Peoples to this day.Noch keine Bewertungen vorhanden
