This edited collection provides deep insights and varied perspectives of innovative and courageous efforts to reconcile the conflicts that have characterized the history of Indigenous people, settlers, and their descendants in Canada. From the opening chapter, the volume contextualizes why Canada is on a reconciliation journey, and how that journey is far from over. It is a multi-disciplinary treatise on decolonization, peacebuilding, and conflict transformation that is a must-read for those scholars, students, and practitioners of peacebuilding seeking a deeper understanding of reconciliation, decolonization, and community-building. Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars and influencers from across Canada describe positive conflict transformation through various lenses, including education, economics, business, land sharing, and justice reform. The authors describe their personal and professional journeys, offering insights and research into how individuals and institutions are responding to reconciliation. Each chapter provides readers with windows into the tangible ways that Canadians are building a peaceful shared future, together.
Laura E. Reimer is research associate with the Arthur V. Mauro Institute for Peace and Justice. Robert Chrismas is instructor at Red River College.
"Written by a blend of practitioners, community leaders, and respected academics who work in advancing reconciliation on a daily basis, Our Shared Future: Windows into Canada's Reconciliation Journey is a valuable contribution to how we can move forward in our social relations."--Christopher Adams, Rector of St. Paul's College and Chair of the Arthur Mauro Institute for Peace and Justice
