The Spaces in Between

"""The Space In Between is a vital resource for understanding how the concept of sovereignty has helped and hindered the Indigenous emancipation project in Canada. Schouls is a gifted educator, who shares his astute insight and considerable knowledge of Indigenous law and politics in a highly accessible and common sense fashion that will be of interest to students, instructors and the broader Canadian public.""--Dimitrios Panagos, Associate Professor of Political Science, Memorial University of Newfoundland ""The Spaces In Between addresses many of the key issues that are most salient in Indigenous-state relations. Tim Schouls presents a good balance between exploring theoretical concepts and examining case studies to contextualize and show how important debates play out in real-world settings. This book will serve as an essential resource for many universities and colleges seeking to build more Indigenous programming and courses, as per the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's recommendations.""--Minh Do, Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of Guelph ""Drawing on a range of themes and issues, The Spaces In Between provides students with a strong academic grounding in Indigenous politics and Indigenous-settler relations. It articulates the ways Indigenous peoples have opened space within Canadian state claims to sovereignty and filled it with their own articulations and practices of sovereignty. Well-written and accessible, this book presents complex information in an eminently readable and engaging way, offering a clear articulation for a possible path forward for Indigenous-settler relations.""--Liam Midzain-Gobin, Assistant Professor of Political Science, Brock University"
