Description
Can the specific concerns of Indigenous women be addressed within current mainstream feminist and post-colonial discussions?
Indigenous Women and Feminism: Politics, Activism, Culture proposes that a dynamic new line of inquiry – Indigenous feminism – is necessary to truly engage with the crucial issues of cultural identity, nationalism, and decolonization particular to Indigenous contexts. Through the lenses of politics, activism, and culture, the questions at the heart of this collection – What is at stake in conceptualizing Indigenous feminism?
How does feminism relate to Indigenous claims to land and sovereignty?
What lessons can we learn from the past? How do Indigenous women engage ongoing violence and social and political marginalization? – cross disciplinary, national, academic, and activist boundaries to explore deeply the unique political and social positions of Indigenous women. A vital and sophisticated discussion, these timely essays will change the way we think about modern feminism and Indigenous women.
