"Fox tears beauty from the jaws of genocide, daring to claim love
beyond settler imaginings-love that nurtures decolonial futures and
makes possible a more just world."- Sam McKegney, author of Magic
Weapons and Masculindians How can we heal in the face of trauma?
How can we transform intergenerational pain into a passion for
community and healing? Presenting herself as "Myrtle," residential
school survivor and Indigenous television personality Bevann Fox
explores essential questions by recounting her life through
fiction. She shares memories of an early childhood filled with love
with her grandparents-until she is sent to residential school at
the age of seven. Her horrific experiences of abuse there left her
without a voice, timid and nervous, never sure, never trusting,
affecting her romantic relationships and family bonds for years to
come. This is the story of Myrtle battling to recover her voice.
Genocidal Love is a powerful confirmation of the long-lasting
consequences of residential school violence -and a moving story of
finding a path towards healing. "A riveting, often difficult,
brave, important book. " - Deanna Reder , Chair, Department of
Indigenous Studies, Simon Fraser University "A riveting and
courageous reflection. . . . Genocidal Love is unique in its
detailed account of the often re-traumatizing effects of the legal
and bureaucratic barriers of compensation programs predating the
Truth and Reconciliation Commission." - Jesse Rae Archibald-Barber
, editor of kisiskaciwan and co-editor of Performing Turtle Island
