“[Remembering Air India] is an important book. It explores, through a number of essays, poems and excerpts from the public record, a question that should haunt us all still: why has this terrible disaster been relegated to the very margins of public memory?… The focus of this book is not just on a failure of surveillance, policing, intelligence or the court system. Its theme is a wider, and painful, reality: the failure to embrace the Air India bombing and its aftermath as our own….” Bob Rae, Literary Review of Canada
“When 329 people, mostly Canadians, perished at sea in the 1985 Air India bombing, there was … no mass public mourning. The only memorial was in County Cork, Ireland, near the spot where Flight 182 took whole families to their death. Few Canadians recall the year this mass murder occurred. The victims were modest people of ordinary means and little public profile. Would it have been different if 329 bankers died, or 329 tennis players? Of course. Would it have been different if 329 white Christians died? Remembering Air India answers this last, jarring question…. Remembering Air India is a poignant postmortem on memory and culture.” Holly Doan, Blacklock’s Reporter
“Another standout for its typography, which is pleasing at a glance and impressive on closer inspection.
