I think I hyped this already but if you haven't checked out the album Nogom Nikamowin, you NEED to. It dropped September of this year and afaik is the second ever contemporary music album in Algonquin after Samian's album Nikamo. It's folk-indie-ish, but it's pretty diverse.

this book is absolutely wild, not always in a good way but always in a both aesthetically and literary-historically fascinating way — AND it's exactly the kind of communist Popular Fiction™ I have been begging publishers to translate/(re)publish for years.

(* I did technically have a course on the sociology of literature in the first year of my Ph.D., but it was the semester my mother died and I was pretty preoccupied and frankly didn't get very much out of it.)

in retrospect the main literature courses I wish I'd had* are 1) the sociology of literature, 2) the economics and politics of literary production, and 3) the practice of literary history.

tl;dr: clearly written by a non-Gael for non-Gaels, with some heavy moralizing around Gaelic supernatural beliefs and some bad choices around the Strathglass witch trials and John Dickson/James Paterson/Christian Caldwell, but still an interesting attempt to place Coinneach Odhar in real history.

còmhdach The Seer of Kintail, le Elizabeth Sutherland. tha fear le falt is feusag dubha ag amharc a-mach. tha seud-mhuineil le spliùcan air, is chan eil lèine air, ach peiteag-bhèin is rudeigin a tha coltach ri pàirt de dh’fhèileadh-mòr. / cover of The Seer of Kintail, by Elizabeth Sutherland. a man with black hair and beard stares out. he is wearing a necklace with a leather pouch on it. he has no shirt on but instead a vest and something that looks like part of a fèileadh-mòr.

When our descendants look back on our era, what traumas that we endured will they find horrifying? Something ppl often don't want to talk about re: IR/BS: while they were happening, most alumni didn't speak of them as traumatic, bc the violence was so normalized. What violences do we still accept?

Something folks (both in the US and Canada) need to really talk about more is the fact that trauma and violence towards Indigenous children within colonial education systems has never been limited to residential/boarding schools. Assimilationist IR/BS were a particularly horrific incarnation, but
