Description

This book makes a speciality of the recurring struggle over the meaning of the Anglican Church’s role within the Indian residential schools–a long-running school system designed to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-Canadian culture, wherein 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’re now associated with colonialism and suffering. In bringing this transformation to light, the book addresses why the Church was once so quick to change into involved within the Indian residential schools and why acknowledgment in their deleterious affect was once so protracted. In doing so, the book adds to our working out of the sociological process during which perpetrators come to recognize themselves as such.
