Book Description
Halliday Jackson's 'Civilization of the Indian Natives' is a seminal work that delves into the complex socio-cultural aspects of India during the colonial era. Through a combination of firsthand observations and historical research, Jackson provides a detailed analysis of the indigenous population's way of life, religious beliefs, and interactions with the British colonizers. Written in a highly engaging and descriptive style, the book paints a vivid picture of Indian society and sheds light on the impact of colonialism on its traditional structures. Jackson's meticulous attention to detail and nuanced portrayal of Indian customs make this book an invaluable resource for scholars of postcolonial literature and cultural studies. Halliday Jackson, a renowned anthropologist and historian, drew inspiration for 'Civilization of the Indian Natives' from his extensive fieldwork in India. His deep understanding of Indian culture and history is evident in the comprehensive nature of the book, which reflects years of dedicated research and scholarly inquiry. Jackson's passion for decolonization and social justice drives his exploration of the intersections between Western imperialism and indigenous traditions. I highly recommend 'Civilization of the Indian Natives' to readers interested in exploring the complexities of colonial encounters and their lasting effects on indigenous societies. Jackson's insightful analysis and empathetic storytelling make this book a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of India's colonial past.

Book Description
This important collection of essays expands the geographic, demographic, and analytic scope of the term genocide to encompass the effects of colonialism and settler colonialism in North America. Colonists made multiple and interconnected attempts to destroy Indigenous peoples as groups. The contributors examine these efforts through the lens of genocide. Considering some of the most destructive aspects of the colonization and subsequent settlement of North America, several essays address Indigenous boarding school systems imposed by both the Canadian and U.S. governments in attempts to "civilize" or "assimilate" Indigenous children. Contributors examine some of the most egregious assaults on Indigenous peoples and the natural environment, including massacres, land appropriation, the spread of disease, the near-extinction of the buffalo, and forced political restructuring of Indigenous communities. Assessing the record of these appalling events, the contributors maintain that North Americans must reckon with colonial and settler colonial attempts to annihilate Indigenous peoples. Contributors.

Book Description
With the growing strength of minority voices in recent decades has come much impassioned discussion of residential schools, the institutions where attendance by Native children was compulsory as recently as the 1960s. Former students have come forward in increasing numbers to describe the psychological and physical abuse they suffered in these schools, and many view the system as an experiment in cultural genocide. In this first comprehensive history of these institutions, J.R. Miller explores the motives of all three agents in the story. He looks at the separate experiences and agendas of the government officials who authorized the schools, the missionaries who taught in them, and the students who attended them. Starting with the foundations of residential schooling in seventeenth-century New France, Miller traces the modern version of the institution that was created in the 1880s, and, finally, describes the phasing-out of the schools in the 1960s. He looks at instruction, work and recreation, care and abuse, and the growing resistance to the system on the part of students and their families. Based on extensive interviews as well as archival research, Miller's history is particularly rich in Native accounts of the school system. This book is an absolute first in its comprehensive treatment of this subject. J.R. Miller has written a new chapter in the history of relations between indigenous and immigrant peoples in Canada. Co-winner of the 1996 Saskatchewan Book Award for nonfiction. Winner of the 1996 John Wesley Dafoe Foundation competition for Distinguished Writing by Canadians Named an 'Outstanding Book on the subject of human rights in North America' by the Gustavus Myer Center for the Study of Human Rights in North America.
