Description
Decolonizing Research: Indigenous Storywork as Methodology brings together indigenous researchers and activists to assert the value of indigenous storytelling traditions. These unique perspectives aim to rectify colonial attitudes in research, highlighting valuable new avenues for study and contributing to the movement for indigenous rights and self-determination. Indigenous storywork has been relegated to myth and legend, but its significance as a historical record, teaching tool, and expression of culture is undeniable. This book develops methodologies that treat indigenous storywork on its own terms, illuminating new approaches to research and scholarship. By centreing indigenous perspectives, the contributors offer a fresh understanding of the importance of decolonizing research methods, shedding light on the significance of these storytelling traditions in contemporary scholarship.
