Return of the Sun

Return of the Sun by Michael J. Kral, published by Oxford University Press Inc in 2019, is a compelling exploration of Indigenous resilience and community-driven initiatives. Spanning 208 pages, this insightful book sheds light on the critical social conditions faced by Inuit communities, particularly in terms of suicide prevention. Kral draws on rich narratives and historical contexts to illustrate how government colonialism has profoundly affected family structures and community well-being.

Through in-depth analysis and firsthand accounts, Return of the Sun demonstrates that Indigenous communities are not merely passive victims of these challenges; rather, they possess the strength and knowledge to develop effective strategies to combat suicide and foster resilience. This important work is a must-read for anyone interested in social justice, Indigenous rights, and the power of community action. Discover how hope and healing can arise from the very circumstances designed to undermine community cohesion.
