Pediatric emergency physician Samir Shaheen-Hussain's captivating narrative of this successful campaign, which garnered unprecedented public attention and media coverage, seeks to answer lingering questions about why such a cruel practice remained in place for so long. In doing so it serves as an indispensible case study of contemporary medical colonialism in Quebec. Fighting for A Hand to Hold exposes the medical establishment's role in the displacement, colonization, and genocide of Indigenous peoples in Canada. Through meticulously gathered government documentation, historical scholarship, media reports, public inquiries, and personal testimonies, Shaheen-Hussain connects the draconian medevac practice with often-disregarded crimes and medical violence inflicted specifically on Indigenous children. This devastating history and ongoing medical colonialism prevent Indigenous communities from attaining internationally recognized measures of health and social well-being because of the pervasive, systemic anti- Indigenous racism that persists in the Canadian public health care system--and in settler society at large. Shaheen-Hussain's unique perspective combines his experience as a frontline pediatrician with his long- standing involvement in anti-authoritarian social justice movements. Sparked by the indifference and callousness of those in power, this book draws on the innovative work of Indigenous scholars and activists to conclude that a broader decolonization struggle calling for reparations, land reclamation, and self-determination for Indigenous peoples is critical to achieve reconciliation in Canada."- -|cProvided by publisher. 588 Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on August 21, 2020). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Indigenous children|xMedical care|zCanada. 650 0 Indigenous peoples|xMedical care|zCanada. 650 0 Racism in medicine|zCanada. 650 7 Racism in medicine.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01744790 651 2 Canada. 651 7 Canada.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204310 653 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Indigenous Studies 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aShaheen-Hussain, Samir, 1979-|tFighting for a hand to hold.|dMontreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2020 |z0228003601|z9780228003601|w(OCoLC)1141518304 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2579387|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
