Description

The Place of Scraps by Jordan Abel explores the complex relationship between First Nations cultures and ethnography. Based on the work of early-twentieth-century ethnographer Marius Barbeau, who studied many Indigenous cultures in the Pacific Northwest, this collection of poems delves into the intentions and repercussions of Barbeau's actions. Through erasure techniques, Jordan Abel carves out new understandings of Barbeau's writing, revealing fresh perspectives with each layer. As he writes his way deeper into Barbeau's words, Abel begins to see a connection between himself and the ethnographer that he initially suspected. This book offers a nuanced examination of the impact of cultural preservation efforts on Indigenous communities.
