Settler colonialism in Canada has traditionally been portrayed as a
gentler, if not benevolent, colonialism-especially in contrast to
the Indian Wars in the United States. This national mythology has
penetrated into comparative genocide studies, where Canadian case
studies are rarely discussed in edited volumes, genocide journals,
or multi-national studies. Indeed, much of the extant literature on
genocide in Canada rests at the level of self-justification,
whereby authors draw on the U.N Genocide Convention or some other
rubric to demonstrate that Canadian genocides are a legitimate
topic of scholarly concern. In recent years, however, discussion of
genocide in Canada has become more pronounced, particularly in the
wake of the findings of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of
Canada. This volume contributes to this ongoing discourse,
providing scholarly analyses of the multiple dimensions or
processes of colonial destruction and their aftermaths in Canada.
Various acts of genocidal violence are covered, including
residential schools, repressive legal or governmental controls,
ecological destruction, and disease spread. Additionally,
contributors draw comparisons to patterns of colonial destruction
in other contexts, examine the ways in which Canada has sought to
redress and commemorate colonial harms, and present novel
theoretical and conceptual insights on colonial/settler genocides
in Canada. This book was previously published as a special issue of
the Journal of Genocide Research.
