One Heart And A Wrong Spirit

The Religioius Society Of Friends And Colonial Racism - The 2006 James Backhouse Lecture

BY POLLY DAKSI WALKER

Brief Description:
"Although the original Quaker settlers held good intentions [in the United States], they were part of a larger system of colonial racism that legitimized the appropriation of Indigenous peoples and lands. Not only in the Americas, but also in colonized lands across the globe, a wrong spirit wrought devastation on all Indigenous peoples through a system of colonial racism." - the author, from the introduction In this lecture, Polly Walker draws on her Cherokee forebears and on interviews she conducted with Indigenous Australians to illustrate the damage and distress to Indigenous peoples caused by the continuing legacy of colonial racism in the United States and in Australia.
