With examples of inclusionary politics within other areas of Canadian society, the book calls for an examination of attitudes towards Indigenous rights & knowledge, arguing for a new evaluation of spaces of inclusion made for Indigenous people within previously exclusionary centres of arts practice.

Morrissette compares the development of recognition-based politics in Canada with liberal inclusionary progress in the arts, demonstrating how colonialism and capitalism define contemporary artistic practice in a liberal paradigm, while restricting the progress that liberalism claims to champion.
