Book
In search of April Raintree / Beatrice Culleton Mosionier.
In search of April Raintree is the story of two Metis sisters growing up in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Removed from their family at an early age, the sisters are raised in separate foster homes.
In this critical edition, ten original essays accompany the text. "The collection illustrates the complexity and diversity of scholarship on the novel, and suggests the continuing relevance of the novel for many readers. The essays address such issues as racism and the socialization of Native children, 'truth-telling' and the representation of social discourse, and First Nations history and the quest for identity."-- back cover.
