Le livre que vous vous apprêtez à lire raconte la très grande marche d'un tout petit peuple, il refait à…
la fois le chemin de sa joie et son chemin de croix. Présente aux premières lignes du journal de voyage de Champlain, aujourd'hui aussi familière que mystérieuse, la nation innue vit et survit depuis au moins deux mille ans dans cette partie de l'Amérique du Nord qu'elle a nommée dans sa langue Nitassinan : notre terre. Au fil des chapitres, vous allez accompagner le jeune anthropologue que j'étais au début des années 1970, arrivé à Ekuanitshit (Mingan). Vous le devinez, ces petites histoires sont prétextes à en raconter de plus grandes. Celles d'un peuple résilient, une société traditionnelle de chasseurs nomades qui s'est maintenue pendant des siècles, une société dont les fondements ont été ébranlés et brisés entre 1850 et 1950, alors que le gouvernement orchestrait la sédentarisation des adultes et l'éducation forcée des enfants. Ce récit commence dans la nuit des temps et se poursuit à travers les siècles, jusqu'aux luttes politiques et culturelles d'aujourd'hui. 2017.By Peter Edwards. 2001

lui jouer les scènes de sa prime jeunesse qu'il vient d'écrire. Les souvenirs d'un homme vieillissant deviennent l'occasion de dialogues savoureux et cocasses où la mauvaise foi de l'enfant s'enroule à celles de sa mère Nana, de son père Gabriel, de sa grand-mère Victoire, de son amie Ginette, etc. Ces conversations avec l'enfant curieux qu'était l'auteur à l'époque où il n'en finissait pas de questionner le monde - de vouloir en comprendre le sens et l'organisation, l'étrange mouvement de ses mystères et de ses mensonges - nous en apprennent beaucoup sur l'origine de son oeuvre dramatique et romanesque : le premier vrai monde de Michel Tremblay, celui de sa famille, s'y trouve révélé dans toute sa merveilleuse humanité, avec une bonne dose de franche hilarité. 2017.By Thomas King, Daniel Poliquin. 2014
« L'Indien malcommode » est à la fois un ouvrage d'histoire et une subversion de l'histoire officielle. En somme, c'est…
le résultat de la réflexion personnelle et critique que Thomas King a menée depuis un demi-siècle sur ce que cela signifie d'être Indien aujourd'hui en Amérique du Nord. Dans ce franc-parler qui ne peut appartenir qu'à un Indien, King démonte avec beaucoup d'esprit les idées reçues touchant les peuples autochtones. Ce livre n'est pas tant une condamnation du comportement des un ou des autres qu'une analyse suprêmement intelligente des liens complexes qu'entretiennent les Blancs et les Indiens. 2014.
