This book focuses on the recurring struggle over the meaning of the
Anglican Church's role in the Indian residential schools--a
long-running school system designed to assimilate Indigenous
children into Euro-Canadian culture, in which sexual,
psychological, and physical abuse were common. From the end of the
nineteenth century until the outset of twenty-first century, the
meaning of the Indian residential schools underwent a protracted
transformation. Once a symbol of the Church's sacred mission to
Christianize and civilize Indigenous children, they are now
associated with colonialism and suffering. In bringing this
transformation to light, the book addresses why the Church was so
quick to become involved in the Indian residential schools and why
acknowledgment of their deleterious impact was so protracted. In
doing so, the book adds to our understanding of the sociological
process by which perpetrators come to recognize themselves as such.
