Par Martha Nibley Beck. 2005
As "Mormon royalty" within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Martha Beck was raised in a home frequented…
by the Church's high elders in an existence framed by the strictest code of conduct. As an adult, she moved to the east coast, outside of her Mormon enclave for the first time in her life. When her son was born with Down syndrome, Martha and her husband left their graduate programs at Harvard to return to Utah, where they knew the supportive Mormon community would embrace them.

la religon autochtone traditonnelle à l'époque coloniale en Amérique du Nord. Pierre-Anthoine Pastedechouan est né au sein d'une communauté indigène nomade d'Innus le long du fleuve Saint-Laurent dans ce qui est aujourd'hui le Québec. A onze ans, il fut envoyé en France par des missionnaires catholiques pour y être éduqué pendant cinq ans, puis ramené dans son pays afin de prendre part à la christianisation de son peuple. Le contact de Pastedechouan avec le catholicisme français pendant son enfance suscita en lui une ambivalence religieuse fatale. Dépouillé à la fois de son identité religieuse traditionnelle et de ses aptitudes critiques à la survie, il éprouvera de la difficulté à se faire accepter par sa communauté à son retour. Simultanément, ses tentatives de se faire valoir aux yeux des siens amèneront les Jésuites à le considérer avec une suspicion croissante. En suspension entre deux univers, Pastedechouan finira par devenir déconnecté - avec des résultats dramatiques - aussi bien de sa communauté autochtone que de ses mentors missionnaires [...] . -- 4e de couv.
