Following a decade-long research project, this new book by Pierrot Ross-Tremblay examines the production of oblivion among his own community, the Essipiunnuat [or, 'People of the Brook Shells River'] and the relationship between a colonial imperative to forget. The book illustrates how the 'cultural oblivion' of vulnerable minority communities is a critical human rights issue but also asks us to reflect upon both the role of the state and the local elite in creating and warping our perception and understanding of history. A critical text for those with an interest in indigenous history and human rights, Thou Shalt Forget also serves as an important tool for remembrance and a starting point for resistance and change.Thou Shalt ForgetSovereigntySovereignty.320.15Ross-Tremblay Pierrot1279075NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910632990803321Thou Shalt Forget3014525UNINA
