"...a welcome and essential addition to the Canadian historical canon."
--Joel W. Vaughan, Broken Pencil
"It’s a powerful, hard-hitting book that will bring the whole sordid history of the schools to new audiences. Hailed by Quill & Quire as one of the season’s most-anticipated Canadian non-fiction titles, the book lives up to that advance billing."
--Paul Bennett, Chronicle Herald
"...a comprehensive, balanced and well-researched book on how a Canada-wide attempt to assimilate first nation children through brute force played out in one residential school. It's also a page turner. Benjamin knows how to make the story come to life."
--Robert Devet, Halifax Media Co-op
In Indian School Road, journalist Chris Benjamin tackles the controversial and tragic history of the Shubenacadie Indian Residential School, its predecessors, and its lasting effects, giving voice to multiple perspectives for the first time.
Benjamin integrates research, interviews, and testimonies to guide readers through the varied experiences of students, principals, and teachers over the school’s nearly forty years of operation (1930–1967) and beyond.
Exposing the raw wounds of Truth and Reconciliation as well as the struggle for an inclusive Mi’kmaw education system, Indian School Road is a comprehensive and compassionate narrative history of the school that uneducated hundreds of Aboriginal children.
