Reviews
This is a deftly argued study of an aspect of Aboriginal literature that has not received enough attention. McKegney shows another side of the history of residential schooling in Canada, allowing for the place of imagination and agency in response to the trauma that such history has engendered. It is an important work because it illuminates the multiplicitous ways in which residential school survivors have come to terms with their experiences., Sam McKegney's Magic Weaponsis a thought-provoking introduction to the political and academic debates over the residential school system that scarred generations of Aboriginal, Metis and Inuit people in Canada. His holistic, interdisciplinary approach represents a new direction in Aboriginal Studies in Canada., Magic Weaponsis an invaluable political as well as literary commentary, persuasively arguing that indigenous life writings are culturally formative in ways beyond simple disclosure. A highly recommended addition to Native American studies shelves., Magic Weapons is an invaluable political as well as literary commentary, persuasively arguing that indigenous life writings are culturally formative in ways beyond simple disclosure.
