The Cunning of Reconciliation: Reinventing White Civility in the “Age of Apology”
Pauline Wakeham
Pauline Wakeham’s “The Cunning of Reconciliation: Reinventing White Civility in the ‘Age of Apology’” considers the rhetoric and function of state apologies in Canada. Extending, and ultimately moving beyond, Daniel Coleman’s concept of “white civility,” Wakeham draws on the work of Sákéj Henderson and the field of indigenous legal studies to argue for a more radical form of social change.
