Exiled, Executed, Exalted: Louis Riel, Homo Sacer and the Production of Canadian Sovereignty

Looks at Riel's exile in 1870 after the Red River Rebellion; examines the tensions between French and English Canada over Riel's execution; and discusses the two statues which serve as a metaphor for the relationship between liberal and colonial dynamics in Canadian political history. Later published in the Canadian Journal of Political Science, vol. 43, no. 3, 2010.
