Publisher Synopsis
Within the stories [included in the book] lie accounts of home seeking that paint an important picture of agency, Indigenous home, and the ways that many Indigenous lives are unrecognized and unsupported through dominant social policy approaches. A key strength of the book is that it challenges southern, urban, and non-Indigenous peoples to face what Christensen terms "the discomfort of positionality," and to not turn away from the spiritual homelessness of Dene people... Summing Up: Recommended. -- G. Bruyere, University College of the North * CHOICE * No Home in a Homeland represents a significant, unique, and timely contribution to the literature on homelessness experienced by Indigenous people in the Canadian North. -- Michael G. Young, Royal Roads University * ARTIC, Vol. 71, No.2 * Read more...
