Éléna Choquette All Books: Land in Canada sku-5463006103

Éléna Choquette's hardcover Land and the Liberal Project: Canada's Violent Expansion is listed under All Books as sku-5463006103. In 1867, Canada was a small country; within twenty years, its claims to sovereignty spanned the continent. Choquette traces official tactics from the first articulation of expansionism in 1857 through the consolidation of authority after the 1885 North-West Resistance. She argues that Canada claimed to absorb Indigenous lands through constitutionalism, administration and law, but also used force against Indigenous resistance. The book examines the liberal idea of “improving” Indigenous territory through agrarian capitalism and Indigenous people through enforced schooling.You may also like Marc Goovaerts All Books: Risk Theory sku-633212411.
