Fragments of Truth

Meer over het boek

The book delves into the impact of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) established in Canada to address the legacy of the residential school system that harmed Indigenous children. Naomi Angel examines archival photographs, media representations, and testimonies to highlight how the TRC facilitated Indigenous communities in reclaiming their narratives and memories. By exploring the intersection of memory, trauma, and visual culture, she sheds light on the enduring effects of colonial oppression and the complexities of reconciling these painful histories.
