On the Other Side(s) of 150

Legacies of commemorative narratives in Canada are being questioned and critiqued widely in the press and throughout the the social media. What stories about Canadian history and national identity remain untold or only partially told and why? Contributors tackle topical issues:systemic racism and violences against BIPOC and Indigenous peoples. Book speaks to ongoing concerns and issues around race and inequality, gender (trans), systemic violence and oppression. This book addresses Canada 150 narratives (and its legacies) - a recent moment in history that has yet to be properly evaluated from multiple perspectives. Opens and closes with Indigenous voices. Deanna Reder's chapter focuses on eliminating the idea that the oral and the literary are opposites. Takes up the words "story" and "narrative" and talks about the interpretations of the word story to mean "for children" or "telling fibs." She also interrogates the idea of literacy in opposition to Indigenous knowledge
