Review Quotes

"Intertwined commentary on colonialism and some of the theoretical underpinnings of decolonization...mixes with functionalist advice.... Regardless of the degree of translation among tribal communities, the positions of these intellectuals frame important points of information for "indigenous eyes" in particular Ideas are important and the call for action trumpeted in this Decolonization Handbook is what all Indian students should consider." -- Gregory Gagnon
