Rhetoric and Settler Inertia: Strategies of Canadian Decolonization explores how communication might accelerate decolonial actions in Canada. Tracing a middle path between essential Indigenous-focused calls for resurgence, and idealistic appeals to settler conscience, Patrick Belanger identifies communication forms that can generate settler support for decolonization. Accenting the importance of both Indigenous and settler audiences, this book suggests the promise of decolonial rhetoric framed in the language of mutual benefit.

Patrick Belanger has produced, in a single muscular volume, one of the most forward-thinking analyses of truth and reconciliation politics in Canada and the most honest prescriptive for moving along productively with decolonial solutions. Rhetoric and Settler Inertia: Strategies of Canadian Decolonization balances a colonial critique of settler culture in Canada with on-the-ground ways of moving toward a reparative program of reconciliation for Indigenous peoples. Rhetoric and Settler Inertia promises to be a high water mark in reconciliation politics, working applicably and practically from the more theoretical work being done on Indigenous decoloniality.
