Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book delves into the significant Supreme Court ruling on the Donald Marshall case, highlighting its cross-cultural, legal, and political ramifications. It recounts the tensions between Mi'kmaq and non-Mi'kmaq fishers in 1999, emphasizing the mismanagement by federal authorities and police. Coates examines how local leaders advocated for non-violence and opposed racism, contrasting their approach with responses from leaders elsewhere in Canada. He argues that while legal victories offer clarity, they also deepen divisions between indigenous and non-indigenous communities.
