Colonial Shadow

<p><em>The Colonial Shadow</em> examines the colonial psychology that has shaped what is now known as Canada. This psychology has perpetrated devastating harm over the last half a millennium and continues to oppress Indigenous people and degrade the environment. This book is inspired by the tenet of depth psychology that stories and myths from one’s own ancestry can bring about transformation and deep changes in perspective. As such it investigates how an alchemical way of imagining into white settler colonial consciousness might contribute to its accountability and psychological healing today. </p><p>The Colonial Shadow will be an invaluable resource for professionals academics and students of Jungian and post-Jungian ideas settler-colonial and First Nations studies sociology anthropology and cultural studies as well as for anyone interested in addressing the colonial complex. </p>
