Indigenous Justice and Gender

Description

This new volume offers a broad overview of topics pertaining to gender-related health, violence, and healing. Employing a strength-based approach (as opposed to a deficit model), the chapters address the resiliency of Indigenous women and two-spirit people in the face of colonial violence and structural racism.The book centers the concept of "rematriation"—the concerted effort to place power, peace, and decision making back into the female space, land, body, and sovereignty—as a decolonial practice to combat injustice. Chapters include such topics as reproductive health, diabetes, missing and murdered Indigenous women, Indigenous women in the academy, and Indigenous women and food sovereignty.As part of the Indigenous Justice series, this book provides an overview of the topic, geared toward undergraduate and graduate classes.ContributorsAlisse Ali-JosephMichèle CompanionMary Jo Tippeconnic FoxBrooke de HeerLomayumtewa K.
