Episode Details

Author Kerry Coast talks to us about her book, The Colonial Present: The Rule of Ignorance and the Role of Law in British Columbia. Beautifully written with hard hitting prose, Kerry demonstrates how the historical and present injustices faced by the various Indigenous nations in B.C. are founded in deep seated ignorance, which can be traced back to the roots of white supremacy and a driving capitalist-colonial extractivist greed.
