Seeing Red
The first book to examine the role of Canada’s newspapers in perpetuating the myth of Native inferiority. Seeing Red is a groundbreaking study of how Canadian English-language newspapers have portrayed Aboriginal peoples from 1869 to the present day. It assesses a wide range of publications on topics that include the sale of Rupert’s Land, the signing of Treaty 3, the North-West Rebellion and Louis Riel, the death of Pauline Johnson, the outing of Grey Owl, the discussions surrounding Bill C-31, the “Bended Elbow” standoff at Kenora, Ontario, and the Oka Crisis. The authors uncover overwhelming evidence that the colonial imaginary not only thrives, but dominates depictions of Aboriginal peoples in mainstream newspapers. The colonial constructs ingrained in the news media perpetuate an imagined Native inferiority that contributes significantly to the marginalization of Indigenous people in Canada. That such imagery persists to this day suggests strongly that our country lives in denial, failing to live up to its cultural mosaic boosterism.

Mythologizing Norval Morrisseau
"Mythologizing Norval Morrisseau" examines the complex identities assigned to Anishinaabe artist Norval Morrisseau. Was he an uneducated artist plagued by alcoholism and homelessness? Was Morrisseau a shaman artist who tapped a deep spiritual force? Or was he simply one of Canada’s most significant artists? Carmen L. Robertson charts both the colonial attitudes and the stereotypes directed at Morrisseau and other Indigenous artists in Canada’s national press. Robertson also examines Morrisseau’s own shaping of his image. An internationally known and award-winning artist from a remote area of northwestern Ontario, Morrisseau founded an art movement known as Woodland Art developed largely from Indigenous and personal creative elements. Still, until his retrospective exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada in 2006, many Canadians knew almost nothing about Morrisseau’s work. Using discourse analysis methods, Robertson looks at news stories, magazine articles, and film footage, ranging from Morrisseau’s first solo exhibition at Toronto’s Pollock Gallery in 1962 until his death in 2007 to examine the cultural assumptions that have framed Morrisseau.

Les blessures du silence
Albertine, sa fille Nicole et sa petite fille Laura, ont en commun une vie amoureuse remplie de soubresauts. Carmen Robertson, dont la plume est bouleversante et efficace, nous plonge habilement au cœur des épreuves et des joies de ces trois femmes pour mettre en lumière la complexité des relations mère-fille. La grand-mère, Albertine, est mariée au maire du village, un homme méprisant et redoutable ayant commis des gestes abominables. Nicole, issue de cette union malheureuse, refuse de dépendre d’un homme et se jette à corps perdu dans une carrière exigeante dont sa fille, Laura, conçue avec un amant de passage, souffrira. En effet, celle-ci devenue jeune adulte, tentera de comprendre les liens du passé et ses conséquences sur sa propre vie. Elle s’attache à sa grand-mère qui lui laissera en héritage son journal, ses souvenirs, desquels elle essaiera de se bâtir un avenir. Arrivera-t-elle à dénouer la trame de cette histoire ayant eu des répercussions sur sa mère tout comme sur elle-même? Avec doigté et beaucoup de sensibilité, l’auteure nous plonge dans trois époques différentes aux atmosphères bien rendues.
