Indigenous men and masculinities : legacies, identities, regeneration / edited by Robert Alexander Innes and Kim Anderson.

Anderson, Kim, 1964- (editor,, author.). Innes, Robert Alexander, (editor,, author.). Antone, Bob, (author.).

Summary:

Building on Indigenous knowledge systems, Indigenous feminism, and queer theory, the sixteen essays by scholars and activists from Canada, the U.S., and New Zealand open pathways for the nascent field of Indigenous masculinities. The authors explore subjects of representation through art and literature, as well as Indigenous masculinities in sport, prisons, and gangs ... highlights voices of Indigenous male writers, traditional knowledge keepers, ex-gang members, war veterans, fathers, youth, two-spirited people, and Indigenous men working to end violence against women. It offers a refreshing vision toward equitable societies that celebrate healthy and diverse masculinities.
