| Abstract | "Justice, Indigenous Womxn, and Two-Spirit People is an edited volume that offers a broad overview of topics pertaining to gender-related health, violence, and healing. Employing 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 aims to provide an introductory overview of the topic geared toward undergraduate and graduate classes"-- Provided by publisher. |
