<i>My Conversations With Canadians</i> is the book that 'Canada150' needs.<br><br>Harkening back to her first book tour at the age of 26 (for the autobiographical novel <i>Bobbi Lee: Indian Rebel</i>), and touching down upon a multitude of experiences she's had as a Canadian, a First Nations leader, a woman and mother and grandmother over the course of her life, Lee Maracle's <i>My Conversations with Canadians</i> presents a tour de force exploration into the writer's own history and a re-imagining of the future of our nation.<br><br>In this latest addition to BookThug's Essais Series (edited by poet Julie Joosten), Maracle's writing works to engage readers in thinking about the threads that keep Canadians tied together as a nation—and also, at times, threaten to pull us apart—so that the sense of sovereignty and nationhood that she feels may be understood and even embraced by Canadians.
