Description

One of the first books published to deal with the phenomenon of residential schools in Canada, Resistance and Renewal is a disturbing collection of Native perspectives on the Kamloops Indian Residential School(KIRS) in the British Columbia interior. Interviews with thirteen Natives, all former residents of KIRS, form the nucleus of the book, a frank depiction of school life, and a telling account of the system''s oppressive environment which sought to stifle Native culture. 

Celia Haig-Brown is an educator and the author of Resistance and Renewal: Surviving the Indian Residential School, winner of a BC Book Prize in 1989. She is the associate vice president of research at Toronto''s York University as well as a professor in the Faculty of Education.
