Countering Displacements: The Creativity and Resilience of Indigenous and Refugee-Ed Peoples
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Countering Displacements: The Creativity and Resilience of Indigenous and Refugee-ed Peoples, edited by Daniel Coleman, Erin Goheen Glanville, Wafaa Hasan, and Agnes Kramer-Hamstra (University of Alberta Press, 2012)In 'Reflections on Exile' Edward Said characterises 'our age ... [as] the age of the refugee, the displaced person, mass migration' (174). While Said's depiction is quite apt and while many books, collections, and articles continue to describe the complex lives of displaced persons, too few of those works explore the ways in which these populations constructively respond to and reshape their realities. Countering Displacements: The Creativity and Resilience of Indigenous and Refugee-ed Peoples intervenes in these conversations with eight essays that examine specific instances of displacement and the creative countering response offered. The challenge for this collection is in effectively bringing together the seemingly unrelated groups of indigenous populations and refugees into one, focused collection. Given the somewhat broad scope, it should not be a surprise that the impetus for this collection comes from a 2008 conference on displacement and like many other works that emerge from conferences, the editors of the volume, Daniel Coleman, Erin Goheen Glanville, Waffa Hasan, and Agnes Kramer-Hamstra, weave somewhat disparate essays together into relatively cohesive edited volume through a thoughtful introduction.The introduction succeeds when it ceases to justify the somewhat tenuous connection between indigenous and refugee-ed populations and instead provides a more in-depth examination of the theoretical concerns surrounding displacement. Specifically, the sections of the introduction that address the tension between the nation-state structure and displaced populations coupled with the importance of agency and narrative allow the work to reply to systemic issues through creative endeavors. As a result the introduction does much of the theoretical work of the volume and thus permits the essays to work together in constructively addressing these larger concerns. In fact, the opening pages offer one of the few spaces in the collection that gesture toward macro level issues regarding displacement for these groups. Additionally, the rationale for the organisational strategy provided by the editors is helpful in guiding readers through the narrative of the essays.The first essay, Jon Gordon's 'Displacing Oil: Towards Lyric Re-presentations of the Alberta Oil Sands,' maps the concept of displacement onto the land through a rhetorical analysis of official government and industry narratives juxtaposing those positions with Jan Zwicky's idea of 'lyric'. Gordon locates this theoretical manoeuvre in a short story and play by Rudy Wiebe, but the importance of this essay lies in its ability to challenge readers to reconsider dislocation in nonhuman terms. By documenting the dis-integration of the Alberta Oil Sands, Gordon chronicles the continued detachment of humans from the natural world. The regional focus of the essay should not overshadow the contribution this essay makes to larger conversations on ecocriticism. It would not be difficult to imagine Gordon's analysis being incorporated in discussions of dam projects in South America or the extraction of precious metals in Congo.Jean McDonald 's article 'Citizenship Studies and Migrant Illegality' surveys the landscape of current conversations on citizenship studies and intervenes through the position of illegality. Unfortunately throughout most of the essay the author's argument is overshadowed by the extensive review of contemporary work in the field of citizenship studies. McDonald's work on illegality seems to build on Arendt's premise in The Origins of Totalitarianism that to be without citizenship leaves one outside legal frameworks and subsequently outside humanity, but ultimately, the essay offers little of the creative countering that the volume sets out to provide. …
