À propos de cet audio
A new, fully restored edition of the essential Canadian classic.
An unflinchingly honest memoir of her experience as a Métis woman in Canada, Maria Campbell's Halfbreed depicts the realities that she endured and, above all, overcame. Maria was born in Northern Saskatchewan, her father the grandson of a Scottish businessman and Métis woman - a niece of Gabriel Dumont whose family fought alongside Riel and Dumont in the 1885 Rebellion; her mother the daughter of a Cree woman and French-American man. This extraordinary account, originally published in 1973, bravely explores the poverty, oppression, alcoholism, addiction, and tragedy Maria endured throughout her childhood and into her early adult life, underscored by living in the margins of a country pervaded by hatred, discrimination, and mistrust. Laced with spare moments of love and joy, this is a memoir of family ties and finding an identity in a heritage that is neither wholly Indigenous or Anglo; of strength and resilience; of indomitable spirit.
This edition of Halfbreed includes a new introduction written by Indigenous (Métis) scholar Dr. Kim Anderson detailing the extraordinary work that Maria has been doing since its original publication 46 years ago, and an afterword by the author looking at what has changed, and also what has not, for Indigenous people in Canada today. Restored are the recently discovered missing pages from the original text of this groundbreaking and significant work.

Histoire
In 1966, 12-year-old Chanie Wenjack froze to death on the railway tracks after running away from residential school. An inquest was called, and four recommendations were made to prevent another tragedy. None of those recommendations were applied. More than a quarter of a century later, from 2000 to 2011, seven Indigenous high school students died in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The seven were hundreds of miles away from their families, forced to leave home and live in a foreign and unwelcoming city.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“You can almost feel this book vibrating in your hands, it is so compelling. You read it with a kind of agonized heart-in-the-mouth sensation, halfway between laughter and tears.... Truth is stronger than fiction.” (Victoria Times-Columnist)
“Sometimes a book tells us what we have always known but in a way that makes it seem as if we have not heard it before.” (Toronto Star)
“Powerful, simple, direct, and passionate without being bitter.” (CBC Radio Vancouver)

Long-standing systemic racism and colonial violence are the main themes in the works of Campbell. Interestingly, the original edition of Halfbreed was edited to exclude important documentation of dark experiences of Campbell’s life. In May 2018, researchers at Simon Fraser University discovered pages revealing how Campbell was raped at the age of fourteen by members of the RCMP. The newly restored edition of Halfbreed includes these striking, searing, perspective-shifting stories of survival which document the critical history of police brutality, an issue that is so critical in today’s political arena. These omissions draw attention to the injustices faced by Indigenous Peoples at the hands of state forces. It goes without saying that the very act of omission is exemplary of the historic avoidance of accountability, and of tarnishing the exceptional narrative of freedom and democracy.
By exposing racist state actions, the author creates a comprehensive picture of entrenched, systemic inequality which has impacted and disrupted the lives of Indigenous Peoples and continues to impact BIPOC Peoples within Canada. Halfbreed is a vehicle of activism, steadfastly pursuing callings of justice, with clarity and grace, and without sacrificing emotional resonance.
