    What is the cost of an education? 
Is education an additive process or a reductive one? 
How does one weigh the benefits of tradition against the threat of being at odds with the future? 
How does one refuse the offer of a better life for their children? 
What if the offer is compulsory? 
What happens when the tree of knowledge bares rotten fruit? 
While the history of Canada's Residential School program is only just beginning 
to be unearthed, there are already enough first hand accounts to begin asking 
some of these questions. The words of the individuals included in this book 
offer just a glimpse of the results of the effort of one group of people to 
educate people who were in many cases not seeking the knowledge being 
offered. These are tales of lessons learned, languages lost, traditions 
replaced, & charity corrupted.

    Social justice work, we often assume, is raised voices and raised fists. But what does it look like for those of us who don't feel comfortable battling in the trenches? Sustaining justice work can be particularly challenging for the sensitive, and it requires a deep level of self-awareness. 
 
 
 
In Social Justice for the Sensitive Soul, writer Dorcas Cheng-Tozun offers six possible pathways for sensitive types: Connectors: relational activists whose interactions and conversations build the social capital necessary for change; Creatives: artists and creators whose work inspires, sheds light, makes connections, and brings issues into the public consciousness; Record Keepers: archivists who preserve essential information and hold our collective memory and history; Builders: inventors, programmers, and engineers who center empathy as they develop society-changing products and technologies; Equippers: educators, mentors, and elders who build skills and knowledge within movements and shepherd the next generation of changemakers; and Researchers: data-driven individuals who utilize information as a persuasive tool to effect change and propose options for improvement. 
 
 
 
Cheng-Tozun expands the possibilities of how to have a positive social impact, affirming the particular gifts and talents that sensitive souls offer to a hurting world.
