A National Crime: The Canadian Government and the Residential School System (Critical Studies in Native History) - Milloy, John S.

Tight, unmarked; single crease to spine; otherwise minimal wear; Using previously unreleased government documents accessed during his work for the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, A National Crime was one of the first comprehensive studies of the history of residential schools, and it remains a powerful indictment of the racist and colonial policies that inspired and sustained them. This book convincingly argues that, rather than bringing Indigenous children into what its planners called "the circle of civilization," the schools more often provided an inferior education in an atmosphere of neglect, disease, and abuse.
