$0.80

Joshua Whitehead powerfully evokes the failures of accountability that have defined CanLit, and decentres CanLit as a white colonial project in favour of Indigenous Lit. He brings us back to the question of rupture, of what is broken apart, broken open, and what becomes possible from within the wreckage.
