Book

More will sing their way to freedom : indigenous resistance and resurgence / edited by Elaine Coburn.

Coburn, Elaine, 1975- (author,, editor.).

Summary:

"This edited collection features contributions by well-known scholars and exciting young researchers, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, in a wide-ranging theoretical and empirical exploration of Indigenous resistance and resurgence across lands and waters claimed by Canada. Contributors explore resistance to historical and contemporary colonial-capitalism by diverse Indigenous peoples, as well as Indigenous resurgence--the re-invention of diverse Indigenous ways of being, knowing and doing in politics, economics, the arts, research and more. Each contributor considers the important opposition faced by these Indigenous movements, which are not concerned with an inevitable justice and freedom for Indigenous peoples, but only with possibilities. The collection is introduced with a substantive Foreword by Emma LaRocque and concludes with suggestions about the political possibilities of love, by Alex Wilson."-- Provided by publisher.
