Appropriation Prize: Writers and Hal Niedzviecki

appropriation prize: So it doesn't take a genius to know that, if you're devoting an issue of your magazine to a celebration of Indigenous writers, you don't take the opportunity to encourage more white people to write about those subjects.I mean, as if we haven't had enough of that!Hal Niedzviecki paid the price, according to Rabble. This week he resigned as the editor of The Writers' Union of Canada's magazine, Write, after he wrote a piece called Winning the Appropriation Prize. More often, you do not. He said he didn't believe in cultural appropriation, and that writers he meant white writers should be encouraged to imagine other peoples, other cultures, other identities. The Writers' Union, which exists to promote the rights, freedoms, and economic well-being of all writers, had to apologize for its editor's defence of cultural appropriation. Many people -- including the writers published in his magazine thought it was insensitive and inappropriate. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
