520    "An explosive examination of the missing and murdered 
       Indigenous women of Highway 16, and a searing indictment 
       of the society that failed them. For decades, women--
       overwhelmingly from Indigenous backgrounds--have gone 
       missing or been found murdered along an isolated stretch 
       of highway in northwestern B.C. The highway is called the 
       Highway of Tears by locals, and it has come to symbolize a
       national crisis. In Highway of Tears, Jessica McDiarmid 
       meticulously explores the effect these tragedies have had 
       on communities in the region, and how systemic racism and 
       indifference towards Indigenous lives have created a 
       culture of "over-policing and under-protection," 
       simultaneously hampering justice while endangering young 
       Indigenous women. Highway of Tears will offer an intimate,
       first-hand look at the communities along Highway 16 and 
       the families of the victims, as well as examine the 
       historically fraught social and cultural tensions between 
       settler and Indigenous peoples that underlie life in the 
       region. Finally, it will link these cases with others 
       found across Canada--estimated to number over 1,200--
       contextualizing them within a broader examination of the 
       undervaluing of Indigenous lives in the country and of our
       ongoing failure to provide justice for the missing and 
       murdered"--|cProvided by publisher
