Summary "Time Bomb is a vital wake-up call. Bland highlights the importance of understanding the social and economic foundations of the current unease between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples and provides constructive guidance for both alike on how to turn the current uneasy relationship into a more stable, mutually-beneficial, and sustainable partnership. With rare clarity and avoiding inflated rhetoric, Doug Bland reminds us that we make the future that lies ahead of us"--Provided by publisher
