This book analyzes, within the realms of literature and film, recent Australian and Canadian attempts to reconcile with Indigenous populations in the wake of forced child removal. As Hanna Teichler demonstrates, their systematic emphasis on the subjectivity of the victim is problematic, reproducing simplistic narratives and identities defined by victimization. Such fictions of reconciliation venture beyond simplistic narratives and identities defined by victimization, offering new opportunities for confronting painful histories UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781800731738 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781800731738 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781800731738/original ER -
