Charged with fresh material and new perspectives, this updated edition
of the groundbreaking biography From Brotherhood to Nationhood brings
George Manuel and his fighting tradition into the present.
George Manuel (1920-1989) was the strategist and visionary behind the
modern Indigenous movement in Canada. A three-time Nobel Peace Prize
nominee, he laid the groundwork for what would become the Assembly of
First Nations and was the founding president of the World Council of
Indigenous Peoples. Authors Peter McFarlane and Doreen Manuel follow him
on a riveting journey from his childhood on a Shuswap reserve through
three decades of fierce and dedicated activism.
In these pages, an all-new foreword by celebrated Mi'kmaq lawyer and
activist Pam Palmater is joined by an afterword from Manuel's
granddaughter, land defender Kanahus Manuel. This edition features new
photos and previously untold stories of the pivotal roles that the women
of the Manuel family played--and continue to play--in the battle for
Indigenous rights.
