Overall I enjoyed this book. It's divided into two parts, the first being about the history of how Indigenous people have been treated throughout history, the second being the recent efforts to change what wrongs have been committed and what can be done to continue supporting Indigenous communities. I appreciate how Tuhiwai Smith didn't just write to make herself sound smart, as many academic book authors tend to do. She picked her focus and stuck to it well. ((I still don't understand positivism so I'll need to do more reading about that, that part isn't Linda's fault.)) A useful book for this aspiring Linguistics professor interested in language reclamation / revitalization work.
