Description
Decolonizing Native Histories explores the complex relationships between language, power, and indigenous activism in the Americas. This interdisciplinary collection brings together scholars and activists to examine how knowledge production has been shaped by colonialism and how it can be transformed to prioritize Native peoples' rights. The contributors analyze the challenges of decolonization through case studies that consider the role of language, law, and archives in constructing autonomy. By examining Native histories and narratives within an international comparative context, this collection aims to foster new possibilities for indigenous mobilization and a more decolonized future. Through its diverse perspectives and approaches, Decolonizing Native Histories highlights points of commonality and solidarity across geographical, cultural, and linguistic boundaries, while also reflecting deep distinctions between North and South.
