Product Description

Review

This book has impressive scholarly depth and in a systematic and challenging way makes a major contribution to understanding and assessing the Supreme Court’s decision making with respect to Aboriginal peoples in the quarter century since Aboriginal and treaty rights have been formally recognized in Canada’s Constitution.
– Peter H. Russell, Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Toronto and author of Recognizing Aboriginal Title

Product Description

Is Canada postcolonial ? In 1982, it formally recognized Aboriginal and treaty rights. Yet, nearly thirty years later, Indigenous people continue to claim that they are being colonized. Woo reveals that although international law rejected the legitimacy of domination during the twentieth century, the judgments of Canada’s Supreme Court continue to be haunted by beliefs and practices of the colonial age. By casting new light on ongoing tensions between Canada and Indigenous peoples, this book suggests ways to bridge the cultural divide and arrive at a truly postcolonial justice system.
