Abstract
Abstract:Jamaican novelist and critic Sylvia Wynter famously wrote that "the central mechanism at work" in processes of colonization "was and is that of representation." Canadian theology is becoming ever more responsive to Wynter's call as it thinks through the manner in which the mechanism of theological representation supported and continues to support colonization. This is the challenge that I, too, wish to take up, and I will do so through thinking about how we represent time within settler colonialism, and how our understanding of time and its redemption is, in fact, deeply invested with theological suppositions that afflict both Canadian and Canadian theological understandings of the time of reconciliation.
