Seeing red : a history of Natives in Canadian newspapers / Mark Cronlund Anderson and Carmen L. Robertson.
Seeing Red is a groundbreaking study of how Canadian English-language newspapers have portrayed Aboriginal peoples from 1869 to the present day. From reports on the North-West Rebellion to coverage of the Oka Crisis, it presents overwhelming evidence that the colonial imaginary continues to dominate depictions of Aboriginal peoples and perpetuates an imagined Native inferiority that contributes significantly to the marginalization of Indigenous people in Canada. That such imagery persists to this day suggests strongly that our country, which prides itself on its commitment to multiculturalism and racial tolerance, is living in denial.
