- Description
Using beaver dams as a metaphor for Indigenous blockades, A Short History of the Blockade provides a perspective on Indigenous resistance and resilience. With short chapters but deep meaning, Simpson’s work can be used to explore ethics, politics, the power of story, communication, and understanding. Nishnaabemowin terms and stories are infused throughout this work, but the portrayal does not require prior knowledge—instead, this work invites readers to explore how stories and understanding can create change, much like a beaver’s dam.
