Winner, 2019 John W. Frick Book AwardWinner, 2020 Ann Saddlemyer AwardFinalist, ATHE Outstanding Book Award for 2020Mention Spciale, Socit qubcoise d'tudes thtraleIn Encounters on Contested Lands, Julie Burelle employs a performance studies lens to examine how instances of Indigenous selfrepresentation in Qubec challenge the national and identity discourses of the French Qubcois de souchethe Frenchspeaking descendants of white European settlers who understand themselves to be settlers no more but rather colonized and rightfully belonging to the territory of Qubec.Analyzing a wide variety of performances, Burelle brings together the theater of Alexis Martin and the film L'Empreinte, which repositions the French Qubcois de souche as mtis, with protest marches led by Innu activists; the Indigenous company Ondinnok's theater of repatriation; the films of Yves Sioui Durand, Alanis Obomsawin, and the Wapikoni Mobile project; and the visual work of Nadia Myre. These performances, Burelle argues, challenge received definitions of sovereignty and articulate new ones while proposing to the province and, more specifically, to the French Qubcois de souche, that there are alternative ways to imagine Qubec's future and remember its past.The performances insist on Qubec's contested nature and reframe it as animated by competing sovereignties. Together they reveal how the 'colonial present tense' and 'tense colonial present' operate in conjunction as they work to imagine an alternative future predicated on decolonization. Encounters on Contested Lands engages with theater and performance studies while making unique and needed contributions to Qubec and Canadian studies, as well as to Indigenous and settlercolonial studies.
