Event Details
Students, faculty, staff, and the general public are invited to join John Ralston Saul at 7:30 p.m. on January 20 in Hagey Hall Humanities Theatre for a discussion of his work. A book signing will follow.
John Ralston Saul speaks about his latest book The Comeback, a powerful pamphlet on the growing force of indigenous peoples in Canada in spite of the difficulties so often discussed. In addition to his dramatic and moving argument, Saul uses letters, speeches and writings of leading Aboriginal leaders to present an unfamiliar story of Canada’s past so that we may better understand its present and imagine a better future. In an era when we are faced by an explosion in the number of refugees and environmental crises, Saul believes indigenous philosophies and methods have an important role to play.
Copies of The Comeback will be available on-site for purchase.
Space is limited, please RSVP to reserve a seat at this free event.
Parking for the event is available in both C and H lots for a cost of $5
(C Lot: pay by coin or credit card. H Lot: credit only.)
