From the Iron House
Imprisonment in First Nations Writing
by Deena Rymhs
Rymhs identifies continuities between residential school and prison and their respective bodies of writing: residential school accounts and prison narratives and invites recognition of the ways that guilt is colonially constructed and how these authors use their writing to distance themselves from that guilt. From the Iron House is a pioneering study of prison literature in Canada.
