Reviews

I Will Live For Both of Us shows the dynamics of 'resource colonialism' through the life experiences and struggles of an Inuit leader. As such, it draws invaluable political conclusions while providing an inspiring narrative of resistance. --John Clarke Counterfire The authors bring detailed insights into the context of neoliberal resource extraction and ongoing processes of colonial dispossession, making the book of great interest for Inuit, Canadian, and international audiences, alike. The text, dynamic and accessible without forsaking depth, will certainly lend itself to research, classroom and popular reading. And its focus on historical and contemporary Inuit resistance will provide inspiration--and, indeed, a suite of tactics--for community organizers. --Rebecca Hall Canadian Journal of Development Studies
