- Description
Liberalism, Surveillance, and Resistance explores the impact of liberalism on Indigenous communities in Western Canada from 1877 to 1927. It also addresses how government officials, police, church representatives, and settlers used surveillance and exclusionary tactics to impose Anglo-Canadian liberal capitalist values on Indigenous Peoples. Smith examines the social, economic, political, and spiritual consequences of this and the resistance put up by Indigenous communities. The book provides a critical analysis of the mechanisms of colonization and their ongoing impact on Indigenous cultures. Especially in social studies or ethics lessons, this book can be used to address historical and contemporary issues related to Indigenous communities as well as to explore what social resistance and surveillance looks like using relevant Canadian and Alberta examples. Educators can use excerpts to discuss the impact of colonialism, the role of surveillance in shaping Indigenous experiences, and the importance of resistance and resilience in creating social change and building community ties.
