«This is an urgent and important book about two outstanding decolonial scholars whose voices, especially at this historical juncture, command an urgent hearing. Darder and Churchill pull no punches. Their brilliant analyses dismantle today's boneyard of political inertia among the liberal left to bring a new and powerful collective agency to our everyday lives. This is a pathbreaking book that educators, especially, need to engage.» (Peter McLaren, Professor of Critical Studies in Education, The University of Auckland, New Zealand)<br /> «Pierre W. Orelus’ important text, ‘A Decolonizing Encounter: Ward Churchill and Antonia Darder in Dialogue’, comes at a time when such a text is greatly needed. That is, in a era when the global anti-capitalist movement is both gaining ground and experiencing repressive backlash from Syria to the US, it is absolutely crucial that an anti-colonial analysis takes center stage as a safe-guard against the history of the labor movement being reduced to a contest between competing factions of the settler-society for access to land (i.e., the means of production) denationalized from the world's indigenous peoples. The lectures by and interviews with Antonia Darder and Ward Churchill in this volume contribute significantly to decolonizing the colonial present.» (Curry S.
