Description
Indigenous resistance is a radical rejection of contemporary colonialism, focused on the refusal of the dispossession of both Indigenous bodies and land. Leanne Betasamosake Simpson argues that this resistance is not about cultural resurgence, but about creating unapologetic, place-based Indigenous alternatives to the destructive logics of the settler colonial state. Simpson examines the ways in which Indigenous resistance is rooted in uniquely Indigenous theorizing, writing, organizing, and thinking. This approach is distinct from the dominant Western models of resistance, and is instead focused on the specific needs and experiences of Indigenous peoples. Through her work, Simpson calls for a fundamental shift in how we understand and address the legacies of colonialism. Her book offers a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the possibilities and challenges of Indigenous resistance, and is an important contribution to the ongoing conversation about the future of our world.
