A better effort, still worrying
“There are still a few instances of righteous indignation and conspiracy theory, but these are easy to spot and disregard. There is happily much less of the defamatory innuendo about “rent-seeking” which stained too many chapters in Grave Error. The overall tone of Dead Wrong—despite its provocative title, the publisher’s preface, and a couple of other instances—seems much less frenzied. But most important, every chapter of this book contains something British Columbians may not have known and ought to have the chance to think about. Some chapters particularly so.” Richard Butler reviews Dead Wrong: How Canada Got the Residential School Story So Wrong
