An innovative examination of continuing calls for justice in the wake of state redress and reconciliation agreements in Canada.

Indigenous peoples and Japanese Canadians have demanded justice from the Canadian state for its discriminatory systems of colonization and racial management. Critics have argued that state apologies co-opt those demands. In addition, many Canadian institutions still attempt to control narratives about residential schools and other violence committed against Indigenous peoples, and about the internment of Japanese Canadians.

After Redress examines how struggles for justice continue long after truth and reconciliation commissions conclude and state redress is made. Contributors to this trenchant volume analyze the complex, often paradoxical redress process from the perspectives of the communities involved. Mechanisms for reconciliation are defined by the settler state, but how do Indigenous peoples and Japanese Canadians reject or conform to Western liberal notions of social justice?
