Jody Wilson-Raybould and Roshan Danesh explore the transformative oral history of Canada, blending Indigenous and non-Indigenous voices in Reconciling History: A Story of Canada (McClelland & Stewart $39.95). Using the totem pole as a metaphor, the book reexamines Canada’s history, encouraging readers to view it from new perspectives, embracing its complexities, and understanding that the past must be retold to uncover deeper meaning and build strength for the future. This book highlights stories that have often been excluded from mainstream narratives, challenging traditional, siloed accounts of Canadian history. 9780771017230
