Clearing the Plains: Disease, Politics of Starvation & the Loss of Aboriginal Life - Daschuk, James

Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; In arresting, but harrowing, prose, Daschuk examines the roles that Old World diseases, climate, and Canadian politics - the politics of ethnocide - played in the deaths and subjugation of thousands of aboriginal people in the realization of Sir John a. Macdonald's "National Dream." It was a dream that came at great expense: the present disparity in health and economic well-being between First Nations and  non-Native populations, and the lingering racism and misunderstanding that permeates the national consciousness to this day.
