520 "Violence against Indigenous women in Canada is an ongoing
crisis, with roots deep in the nation's colonial history.
Despite numerous policies and programs developed to
address the issue, Indigenous women continue to be
targeted for violence at disproportionate rates. What
insights can literature contribute where dominant anti-
violence initiatives have failed? Centring the voices of
contemporary Indigenous women writers, this book argues
for the important role that literature and storytelling
can play in response to gendered colonial violence.
Indigenous communities have been organizing against
violence since newcomers first arrived, but the cases of
missing and murdered women have only recently garnered
broad public attention. Violence Against Indigenous Women
joins the conversation by analyzing the socially
interventionist work of Indigenous women poets,
playwrights, filmmakers, and fiction-writers. Organized as
a series of case studies that pair literary interventions
with recent sites of activism and policy-critique, the
book puts literature in dialogue with anti-violence debate
to illuminate new pathways toward action. With the advent
of provincial and national inquiries into missing and
murdered Indigenous women and girls, a larger public
conversation is now underway. Indigenous women's
literature is a critical site of knowledge-making and
critique. Violence Against Indigenous Women provides a
foundation for reading this literature in the context of
Indigenous feminist scholarship and activism and the
ongoing intellectual history of Indigenous women's
resistance."--|cProvided by Publisher.
