In his recent book,\u00a0<em>Indigenous London<\/em>, historian Coll Thrush offers an imaginative vision of the city\u2019s past crafted from an almost entirely new perspective: that of Indigenous children, women, and men who traveled there, willingly or otherwise, from territories that became Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States, beginning in the sixteenth century. In this talk, focusing on the city\u2019s imperial entanglements with Indigenous history \u2013 entanglements of knowledge, disorder, reason, ritual, discipline, and memory \u2013 Thrush shows how London learned to be a global city and how Indigenous people and peoples were central to that process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Coll Thrush<\/strong>\u00a0is\u00a0<strong>Associate Professor of History<\/strong>\u00a0at the\u00a0<strong>University of British Columbia<\/strong>, where he is is also affiliated with UBC\u2019s Institute for Critical Indigenous Studies.
