Reviews
"""Fishing in Contested Waters is a rich and sensitive portrayal of the two 'Burnt Churches' which together experienced the aftermath of the Marshall decision. Focussed around the issues of religion and place, the author delves deeply into how these two communities, one English, the other Mi'kmaq, responded to the Marshall decision of 1999, how they understood the decision differently, and how the resulting violence tore their communities apart. Using interviews she conducted while living in the community, King portrays how the residents perceived and reacted to the events of 1999 and 2000.""--William Wicken, Department of History, York University ""Sarah King's book is an ambitious interdisciplinary study of the Burnt Church conflict. Integrating social science and philosophical analyses, it advances a phenomenological description of the conflict. Fishing in Contested Waters will be of interest to philosophers concerned with conflict resolution, and scholars in Native Studies.""--Bruce Morito, Centre for Global and Social Analysis, Athabasca University"
