Résumé :

"Novelists, academics, and politicians have been inspired for years to write about their observations of Aboriginal people. While most Canadians have few encounters with Aboriginal people, all of us will speak about their plight and place in Canadian society. Sometimes you will be in agreement, on other occasions you will differ. My goal in writing this book is to provide a critical interpretation of "the person on the street's" thinking about Aboriginal people in our society. Most textbooks are written from the point of view of the dominant majority. They generally advocate a universalistic view that reflects the dominant perspective. The material presented in the present book looks at ethnic relations from another position-that of the minority groups. Using an historical structural perspective, the material presented attempts to provide a macro theory of intergroup relations involving Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals." -- preface
