Produktbeschreibung
Before I was a Critic I was a Human Being is the debut collection of creative nonfiction by Amy Fung. In it, Fung takes a closer examination at Canada's mythologies of multiculturalism, settler colonialism, and identity through the lens of a national art critic. Following the tangents of a foreign-born perspective and the complexities and complicities in participating in ongoing acts of colonial violence, the book as a whole takes the form of a very long land acknowledgement. Taken individually, each story roots itself in the learning and unlearning process of a first generation settler immigrant as she unfurls each region's sense of place and identity.
