Recenzje

"Pratt (Univ. of Calgary), a Metís scholar, provides an interesting account of her doctoral dissertation journey, which she describes as an “ethnographic exploration.” She recounts the hurdles she cleared to conduct research in her home community in Alberta as she explored the use of digital media as a tool for decolonization. Summing Up: Highly recommended." - J. A. Reyhner, CHOICE Reviews
