Acclaim for the French edition "Racism is always based on simplification," writes author Deni Bchard. Can simplification also help to counter it? Poet Natasha Kanape Fontaine and Bchard make the bet that yes, by signing with four hands Kuei, I greet you. This conversation on racism is organized as an exchange of 26 letters. From the beginning it was targetted mainly at young people and high school and college students, since "it is through them that society can change." Two writers who seek to answer by the words, excluding literature, to the shortcomings of education., "Kuei, My Friend should be regarded as a crucial tool to begin the important work of thinking about how we can better learn about our responsibilities towards one another, towards the lands on which we are guests, and to the different Nations that are our hosts. How to become better listeners, better participants, better allies. As Kanapé Fontaine notes, early on in their epistolary exchange, 'the work has begun' (48). Now is the time to find the ways to continue it." --Sarah Henzi, Transmotion, "the impressive thing is how both Béchard and Fontaine consistently come up with fresh insights and perspectives on the problems of racism in a Canadian context." --Maurice Mierau, Winnipeg Free Press, "Through their letters, Béchard and Fontaine chart future possibilities for reconciliation. Their letters shake up the stultified debate spurred by the 2015 publication of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada's final report." --Dylan Burrows, The Ormsby Review, "The book includes an appendix of questions for young people, and would make a wonderful resource for high schools." --Maurice Mierau, Winnipeg Free Press, Acclaim for the French edition "Racism is always based on simplification," writes author Deni Béchard.

Synopsis
A literary and political encounter between an Innu poet and Quebecois-American novelist who engage in a taboo-free conversation about racism., Idle No More, Truth and Reconciliation Commission, National Survey of Missing or Murdered Aboriginal Women ... How can we co-exist if our common history is shame, injury, and anger? How can we counteract the misunderstandings of the other that lead to contempt? How can we make whites realize the invisible privilege that results from historical domination and the impact of cultural genocide on Indigenous peoples? In an attempt to open a dialogue, Kanape Fontaine and B chard use personal stories to understand words and behaviors that are racist or that result from racism. In this epistolary exchange, Kanape Fontaine recounts her discovery of the residential schools, her obsession with the Oka Crisis, and life on the reserve in Pessamit, Quebec; B chard talks about his father's racism, the segregation of African-Americans, and his identity as a Quebecois living in the English-speaking world. By sharing honestly even their most painful memories, these two writers offer a humanist and universal book on the relationship to the other and the respect for difference., Idle No More, Truth and Reconciliation Commission, National Survey of Missing or Murdered Aboriginal Women ... How can we co-exist if our common history is shame, injury, and anger? How can we counteract the misunderstandings of the other that lead to contempt? How can we make whites realize the invisible privilege that results from historical domination and the impact of cultural genocide on Indigenous peoples? In an attempt to open a dialogue, Kanape Fontaine and Béchard use personal stories to understand words and behaviors that are racist or that result from racism. In this epistolary exchange, Kanape Fontaine recounts her discovery of the residential schools, her obsession with the Oka Crisis, and life on the reserve in Pessamit, Quebec; Béchard talks about his father's racism, the segregation of African-Americans, and his identity as a Quebecois living in the English-speaking world. By sharing honestly even their most painful memories, these two writers offer a humanist and universal book on the relationship to the other and the respect for difference., Kuei, My Friend is an engaging book of letters: a literary and political encounter between Innu poet Natasha Kanapé Fontaine and Québécois-American novelist Deni Ellis Béchard. Choosing the epistolary form, they decided to engage together in a frank conversation about racism and reconciliation. Intentionally positioned within the contexts of the Idle No More movement, Canada's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and the National Inquiry into Missing or Murdered Aboriginal Women and Girls, the letters in Kuei, My Friend pose questions in a reciprocal manner: how can we coexist if our common history involves collective and personal episodes of shame, injury, and anger? how can we counteract misunderstandings of the Other, which so often lead to contempt and rejection? how can we educate non-Indigenous communities about the impact of cultural genocide on the First Peoples and the invisible privileges resulting from historical modes of domination? In an attempt to open a sincere and productive dialogue, Kanapé Fontaine and Ellis Béchard use their personal stories to understand words and behaviours that are racist or that result from racism. With the affection and intimacy of a friend writing to a friend, Natasha recounts to her addressee her discovery of the residential schools, her obsession with the Oka Crisis of 1990, and her life on the Pessamit reserve. Reciprocating, Deni talks about his father's racism, the segregation of African-Americans and civil rights, and his identity as a Québécois living in the English-speaking world. By sharing honestly even their most painful memories, these two writers offer an accessible, humanist book on the social bridge-building and respect for difference. Kuei, My Friend is accompanied by a chronology of events, a glossary of relevant terms in the Innu language, and, most importantly, a detailed teacher's guide that includes topics of discussion, questions, and suggested reflections for examination in a classroom setting.

- 2***4 (168)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI got the Blu ray of STRANDED, a sci Fi movie starring Christian slater and I got it at a really great price from estocks_usa. I'm a bit surprised on how fast they got it to me because of the 4th of July weekend window I'd ordered it in, but it got to me earlier than listed and well wrapped up. It got to me in brand new looking shape. Good seller, fast shipping and they sent me what they advertised.Stranded [Blu-ray] Blu-ray (Nr. 196118869136)
- c***d (5335)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufFar better condition than expected, in comparison with the seller's description -- jewel case shows no cracks or major scratches, and CD plays perfectly. Some significant delivery issues (not the seller's fault!); but the seller was VERY responsive, and even sent a refund without my asking! When the package mysteriously turned up, the seller patiently walked me through multiple repayment options until I was able to successfully repay them. Wonderful #1 customer service people -- thanks again!Kathy and Carol (Nr. 196621076248)
