"In painstaking research and matter-of-fact reportage, Associate Professor Lux of Brock University documents Canadian apartheid. Separate Beds: A History of Indian Hospitals In Canada is a riveting and extraordinary account of mistreatment of citizens."
Tom Korski, Blacklocks Reporter, Saturday, June 4, 2016
‘Lux’s detailed account will surely be of interest to scholars of Aboriginal history and health care as well as to the people interested in the development of Indian hospitals in Canada.’
Joanne DeCosse, Canada’s History October-November 2016
‘This is a must read for anyone interested in the history of Canadian Healthcare, Aboriginal health and treaty rights.’
Velvet Maud, The Canadian Journal of Native Studies vol 36:02:2016
‘separate Beds is an important book. It tells a story not well known by Canadians, or even Canadian historians…. Lux’s book is a useful contribution to the history of colonialism in Canada.’
Alison Norman, Canadian Historical Review vol 98:03:2017
‘Lux has written a must-read book for scholars of history, political science, and public policy.’
Shay Sweeney, Canadian Journal of Political Science vol 50:04:2017
‘It is a text best read in small doses to digest and internalize… Separate Beds is a compelling book that should be read widely to foster understanding of our shared histories.’
Cheryl Susan McWatters, Canadian Journal of History - vol 53:01:2018
"Lux has delivered a book that captures the life and failures of Indian hospitals. For all those working in health care, this is a must read."
Yvonne Boyer, University of Ottawa, University of Toronto Quarterly, vol 87 3, Summer 2018
"Canada has a painful history of racially segregated hospitals that were intended to isolate and institutionalize Aboriginal people seen as a menace and danger to the nation. Separate Beds is a sophisticated, analytical, and lucid history of this neglected chapter of Canada's history and of the strength and resolve of Aboriginal communities to return to the management of their health care."
Sarah Carter, Department of History and Classics and Faculty of Native Studies, University of Alberta
"Lux's monumental work helps us understand more about the historical roots of the health care system we have inherited, one which is still influenced by racism, inequality and exclusion, but one that has changed over time and can thus change again."
Mary Jane McCallum, Department of History, University of Winnipeg
