Reviews

Isabel Campbell:

"Roots of Entanglement: Essays in the History of Native-Newcomer Relations addresses the consequences of historical cultural conquest and assumptions of western superiority throughout. It has everything that talented scholars work so hard their entire lives to achieve, but it falls short when it comes to implementing the actual goal of reconciliation which it promotes. For that, we await some future time and place – wherein we might fundamentally challenge cherished values and ideas and divide up the funding pie to include those who did not receive their fair share in the beginning. As Indigenous people have participated in Canada’s military history, Canadian military historians should draw more directly upon Indigenous perspectives, including their voices in our publications and allowing them to tell their truths."

F. K. Holmes:

"Emerging from the field of Canadian Native-newcomer relations, this edited volume focuses on Natives seen as individuals instead of a generalized people, engaging with the historic or contemporary circumstances of colonial invasion."

John Reid, Department of History, Saint Mary’s University:

"Bringing together a diverse list of contributors, Roots of Entanglement spans a range of themes and chronologies. The collection makes an extremely strong contribution to Indigenous history, to Canadian history, and by extension to the history of the impact of settler colonization more widely."

Susan Neylan, Department of History, Wilfrid Laurier University:

"Roots of Entanglement is centred on various aspects of the history of Indigenous-newcomer relations, focusing on the legacy of J.R. Miller prize-winning scholar and former Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Native-Newcomer Relations at the University of Saskatchewan. As such, this collection of essays extends the discussion around Miller’s own areas of focus to address the questions central to understanding this relationship: ‘Why don’t we get along? What are the roots of this entanglement?’"
