"We are living the consequences of settler-colonialism and the violence that was, and is still being, inflicted in the name of Canada. Oral History, Education, and Justice explores the generative possibilities of oral history in breaking collective silences, building reciprocal relationships, and furthering reconciliation. It is urgent work." Steven High, Professor, Concordia University, Canada, and author of Oral History at the Crossroads: Sharing Life Stories of Displacement and Survival
"Bringing their intellectual commitments and offering insights from varied contexts, contributors to this volume take up the limits and possibilities of oral history, very broadly defined. From stories of personal and socio-culturally fraught pasts to the performance of oral tradition within a courtroom, each contributor adds a dimension to the pedagogical (im)possibilities that lie within discourses of redress and reconciliation. The collection posits ideas for thought, practice, and reflection at a time when teachers and their students are hungering for direction as they work to reconcile and redress the colonial legacies on which our lives have been built." Celia Haig-Brown, Professor, Faculty of Education, York University, Canada
