eps. 81: "Paying the Land" by Joe Sacco

For today’s episode we read "Paying the Land," comics journalist Joe Sacco’s book about the Dene people, resource extraction in the Northwest Territories, the legacy of Canadian colonialism, and residential schools. It’s a big book with a lot to say on some weighty issues, but we also find time to discuss journalism as an institution, the convenient “boringness” of Canadian history, and even cottage core. Music by Sleuth. Our next episode will be on "Death Note" volumes 3 & 4 by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata.
