Decolonizing Employment: Aboriginal Inclusion in Canada's Labour Market - MacKinnon, Shauna

As New; This book is a case study with lessons applicable to communities throughout North America. Her examination of Aboriginal labour market participation outlines the deeply damaging, intergenerational effects of colonial policies and describes how a neoliberal political economy served to further exclude Indigenous North American. This book demonstrates that a fundamental shift in policy is required. Long-term financial support for comprehensive, holistic education, and training programs that integrate cultural reclamation and small supportive learning environments are needed if we are to improve social and economic outcomes and support the spiritual and emotional healing that Aboriginal learners tell us is of primary importance.
