Slash-a narrative of colonialism
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Slash, written by artist/author/activist Jeanette Armstrong, is a narrative journey through the main character's life. Slash is a younger man whom we follow through his trials and tribulations of struggling through 'modern' colonial life as he goes through the prison system, spiritual confirmation, and then becomes involved in political struggle. In the face of Genocide that is occurring against the Indigenous of Canada (and across the continent), this story exposes the physical and cultural manifestations of such colonial violence. The tale is also rich in oral tradition. A reccommended read for those who are aware of the political reality of Native People in Canada, and espescially for those who want to learn.
