Description: Storied Communities : Narratives of Contact and Arrival in Constituting Political Community, Hardcover by Lessard, Hester (EDT), ISBN 0774818794, ISBN-13 9780774818797, Brand New, Free shipping in the US National narrative can be either history or myth, depending on the point of view of the listener. Lessard, Johnson and Webber, all professors of law, have gathered experts from other fields to discuss narratives of contact and arrival in Canada, The United States, Australia and New Zealand. While many of the essays are about Aboriginal/European contacts, told from both perspectives, there are also narratives involving new immigrant groups arriving in an already established colony. The narrative strictures of English law are contrasted with the forms of narratives in other cultures. Since the law has the power, these conflicts are not even. The stories are considered, not as fact, but as part of a collective consciousness that binds a society together, separates it from others and justifies itself. The essays presented in this collection argue for a reconfiguring of the narrative to include mistakes of the past that continue to haunt societies. Distributed by UTP Distribution.
