{"product_id":"9781772012149","title":"Sir John A: Acts of a Gentrified Ojibway Rebellion","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Explores the possibility of reconciliation between Peoples and urgently questions past and contemporary forms of Canadian colonialism. Taylor's twenty-seventh play, Sir John A's characters include Canada's infamous first Prime Minister, red-nosed and pompous, full of patriarchal contempt for those \"strange and perplexing Indians,\" and his contemporary accusers: two Ojibway men and a soul-searching white woman. Bobby Rabbit, Sir John A's irked, Anishinaabe main character, in a fit of anger and revenge, convinces his friend Hugh to accompany him on a \"sojourn of justice\": to dig up Sir John A. Macdonald's bones and hold them for ransom. Decades before, a medicine pouch belonging to Bobby's grandfather was taken away by the staff of the residential school where he was detained. The precious object was sent to a British Museum exhibition room for conservation--and now Bobby wants it repatriated. Along the way the pair pick up Anya, a young, bright, and opinionated woman fleeing a bad breakup, with conflicting ideas about Sir John A's place in Canadian history. Not to be left out of the argument, Canada's first Prime Minister, broadcasting live from nineteenth-century Ottawa, shows up with opinions of his own. Sir John A: Acts of a Gentrified Ojibway Rebellion is a powerful satire, a creative debate about the past violences of colonial racism and the as yet untested potentiality of restoring harmony between Peoples in Canada. A contemporary classic by Taylor!\"--\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Talon Books,Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48814237024491,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":31.03,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9781772012149-1.jpg?v=1781701732","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9781772012149","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
