Description
Critically Sovereign Indigenous Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies by Joanne Barker explores the intricate relationship between gender and Indigenous politics. This collection of essays examines how colonialism and imperialism have shaped the experiences of Native American and Indigenous peoples, highlighting the ways in which gender, sexuality, and feminism intersect with sovereignty and self-determination. Through a range of literary and legal texts, the contributors analyze the production of colonial space, the biopolitics of "Indianness," and the complexities of queer theory within Indigenous studies. The book also addresses issues such as traditional forms of marriage and sexuality, globalization's impact on masculinity, and same-sex marriage in Hawai'i. By tracing the politics of gender, sexuality, and feminism across diverse historical and cultural contexts, Critically Sovereign challenges prevailing thinking about Indigenous knowledge, nationhood, citizenship, history, identity, belonging, and a decolonial future.
