This
remarkable collection of essays by leading Indigenous scholars
focuses on the themes of freedom, liberation, and Indigenous
resurgence as they relate to the land. They analyze treaties,
political culture, governance, environmental issues, economy, and
radical social movements from an anti-colonial Indigenous perspective
in a Canadian context.
Editor
Leanne Betasamosake Simpson (Nishnaabekwe) has solicited Indigenous
writers that place Indigenous freedom as their highest political goal
while turning to the knowledge, traditions, and culture of specific
Indigenous nations to achieve that goal. The authors offer frank and
political analysis and commentary of the kind not normally found in
mainstream books, journals, and magazines.
