The title of this book We Were Not the Savages speaks to the truth of what happened when Europeans invaded Mi kmaw lands in the 17th century. Prior to the European invasion the Mi kmaq lived healthy lives and for thousands of years lived harmoniously with nature in the land they called Mi kma ki. This book sets the record straight. When the Europeans arrived, they were welcomed and sustained by the Mi kmaq. After they became well established, over the next three centuries, they turned on the Mi kmaq; their language, culture and their way of life was systematically ravaged by the newcomers to whom they had extended human kindness. The murderous savagery of white supremacist policies that begot residential schools, Indian reserves, scalping proclamations, etc., all but wiped out the Mi kmaw people. Yet the Mi kmaq survived and today stand defending the land, the water and nature s bounty from the European way of life, which threatens the natural world we live in and need to survive. Since the first edition was published in 1993, Daniel Paul s ongoing research puts the lie to the mainstream record of Canadian settler colonialism and reveals that the mistreatment of Indigenous Peoples throughout the Americas is not confined to the past. In this 4th edition the author shares his research, which catalogues not only the historical tragedy but the ongoing attempts to silence the Mi kmaq and other Indigenous Peoples. Paul s work continues to give the Mi kmaw people a voice that must be heard. It is a guiding light in a dark world.

A TLS, GUARDIAN AND NEW STATESMAN BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020The new bestseller from the acclaimed author of Justice and one of the world s most popular philosophers Astute, insightful, and empathetic...A crucial book for this moment Tara Westover, author of EducatedThese are dangerous times for democracy. We live in an age of winners and losers, where the odds are stacked in favour of the already fortunate. Stalled social mobility and entrenched inequality give the lie to the promise that you can make it if you try .And the consequence is a brew of anger and frustration that has fuelled populist protest, with the triumph of Brexit and election of Donald Trump. Michael J. Sandel argues that to overcome the polarized politics of our time, we must rethink the attitudes toward success and failure that have accompanied globalisation and rising inequality.Sandel highlights the hubris a meritocracy generates among the winners and the harsh judgement it imposes on those left behind. He offers an alternative way of thinking about success - more attentive to the role of luck in human affairs, more conducive to an ethic of humility, and more hospitable to a politics of the common good.
