The book examines four prominent case studies: the long-standing conflict involving the Algonquins of Barriere Lake the struggle against the Northern Gateway Pipeline the Idle No More movement and the anti-fracking protests surrounding the Elsipogtog First Nation. While some light has been shed on the surveillance of social movements in Canada, the book shows how policing agencies have been cataloguing Indigenous land defenders and other opponents of extractive capitalism, while also demonstrating how the norms of settler colonialism structure the ways in which police regard Indigenous movements as national security threats. Using the Access to Information Act, the book offers a unique view into the extensivenetworks of policing and security agencies.
"The book blends discussions of settler colonialism, policing and surveillance, with a detailed exposâe of current security practices that targets Indigenous movements.
