Hay's eloquent, passionate, and articulate style highlights the level of dedication he has for illuminating the sadistic and opportunistic legacies of Canadian settler colonialism. Hay has expertly applied his vocation as a Canadian historian in producing his book "Inventing the Thrifty Gene," a highly informative, succinct, and gripping historical account of the unfortunately long-living and baseless assertion that Indigenous peoples have a genetic predisposition to type 2 diabetes. I really appreciate being given the opportunity to read this book and to add it to my collection!
