Power through testimony : reframing residential schools in the age of reconciliation / edited by Brieg Capitaine and Karine Vanthuyne.

Vanthuyne, Karine, 1974- (author,, editor.). Capitaine, Brieg, (author,, editor.).

Summary:

"Power through Testimony documents how survivors are remembering and reframing our understanding of residential schools in the wake of the 2007 Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, which includes the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, a forum for survivors, families, and communities to share their memories and stories with the Canadian public. The commission closed and reported in 2015, and this timely volume reveals what was happening on the ground. Drawing on field research during the commission and in local communities, the contributors reveal how survivors are unsettling colonial narratives about residential schools and how churches and former school staff are receiving or resisting the new "residential school story.""-- Provided by publisher.
