Reviews

“Compelling, interesting, important, and original. I was impressed with Carol Mullen’s knowledge as well as how she wove together this knowledge with both the literature and personal experience throughout this beautifully and soulfully written text. I appreciate how the author illuminated spaces and people whose work is often relegated to dark corners.”

– Pamela J. Konkol, Professor of Foundations, Social Policy, and Research at Concordia University Chicago



"I believe that this book contributes much needed knowledge to the field, with earnest attention on Indigenous education. It is the first writing I have seen on this important topic that integrates Indigenous art and literature as tools for protest and meaningful change. Without a doubt, Canadian Indigenous Literature and Art breaks new ground for education in its content, frameworks, and presentation". Christopher H. Tienken, in AASA Journal of Scholarship and Practice, 18 (3), Fall 2021.
