A National Crime: The Canadian Government and the Residential School System 1879 to 1986

With the conclusion of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, more Canadians than ever are aware of the ugly history of Canada’s residential schools. Nearly twenty years before, UMP published John S. Milloy’s A National Crime, a groundbreaking history of the schools that exposed details of the system to thousands of readers. This reissue includes a new foreword by a scholar in the vanguard of Indigenous historians in Canada, Mary Jane Logan McCallum, of the Munsee Delaware Nation.
