TIFA Presents: A Conversation with Jody Wilson-Raybould and Roshan Danesh
Toronto International Festival of Authors
media@festivalofauthors.ca
From Jody Wilson-Raybould, the former Attorney General of Canada and the #1 national bestselling author of ‘Indian’ in the Cabinet and True Reconciliation, comes a truly unique history of our land—powerful, devastating, remarkable—as told through the voices of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. In a thought-provoking and timely conversation, alongside co-author Roshan Danesh, they will discuss their new book, Reconciling History: A Story of Canada, presenting the story of this country in a way that prompts readers to look differently, to see history from the perspective of the many not the few, and to re-examine the details that shape our understanding, and show where connection and community can be found.
The story of the past is always there to be retold and recast and in the act of re-telling, meaning is found, and strength is built. Born out of an oral history, and complemented throughout with stunning photography and art, Reconciling History takes this approach to telling our collective story to an entirely different level.
Cost: $15 (includes HST)
The event is presented in partnership with McClelland & Stewart.
