My Conversations with Canadians by Lee Maracle

Harkening back to her first book tour at the age of 26 and recounting the multitude of experiences she has had as a Canadian, Maracle’s book presents a tour-de-force exploration into the writer’s own history and a re-imagining of the future of our nation. In a series of essays, Maracle shares her thoughts about some of the questions she has been asked by Canadians, addressing subjects such as citizenship, segregation, labour, law, prejudice, and reconciliation.
