Minus literature: The curious canonisation of Len Findlay’s ‘Always Indigenize!’

This article examines the meteoric canonisation of Len Findlay’s exhortation ‘Always Indigenize! The Radical Humanities in the Postcolonial Canadian University’, which is unprecedented in recent Canadian literary history. The institutional embrace of the 2000 article is notable not only because it was almost instantaneous, but also because the text engages so little with literature in general and Indigenous literature in particular. That is, ‘Always Indigenize!’ does not do what Findlay emphatically proclaims is urgent for Canadian academics and universities to undertake, namely, to adopt Indigenous ways of thinking.
