About this title

Review:

``By making connections between the Temagami protest and others that have happened over the last decade, Oka and Burnt Church for example, the editors of this volume lay down a foundation on which a discussion about Native resistance may be built....The reader will gain a great deal from the many perspectives on the continued resistance of Natives and their continued struggle to have their voices heard in the national and provincial discourses in Canada.'' -- Hans A. Carlson, University of Maine -- American Review of Canadian Studies, 200409 ``Blockades and Resistance comprises an interesting and informative mix of essays.'' -- J.R. Miller -- Canadian Book Review Annual, 2006, 200702 ``Blockades and Resistance not only highlights examples of Aboriginal efforts at establishing peaceful relations but is, in itself, a vehicle of peace because its primary function is to educate its readers, to explain why and how Aboriginal resistance occurs.'' -- Jean L. Manore, Bishop's University -- Canadian Historical Review, 85:3, September 2004, 200409 ``Particularly useful in this collection are the writings, opinions and reflections of TAA [Teme-Augama Anishnabai] elders and leaders on the Red Squirrel Blockade and earlier times when the TAA were sufficient....Blockades and Resistance offers insight into an issue that will not disappear any time soon.'' -- David Calverley -- University of Toronto Quarterly, Letters in Canada 2004, 200606
