Indigenous Women and Feminism: Politics, Activism, Culture

Indigenous Women and Feminism: Politics, Activism, Culture Book Cover

“Historically, indigenous women and mainstream feminism have had an uneasy relationship. While indigenous feminism has often been subsumed within the categories of women of color and postcolonial feminism, in truth, it goes beyond these constructs to engage in crucial issues of cultural identity, nationalism, and decolonization that are particular to indigenous contexts. This timely and groundbreaking collection looks at developments in indigenous feminist culture, activism, and politics to explore how indigenous women in Canada and the United States are creating a space within feminism for a theory and practice specific to their interests.”
