{"product_id":"violence-and-indigenous-communities-susan-sleeper-smith-9780810142961","title":"Violence and Indigenous Communities: Confronting the Past and Engaging the Present","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn contrast to past studies that focus narrowly on war and massacre, treat Native peoples as victims, and consign violence safely to the past, this interdisciplinary collection of essays opens up important new perspectives. While recognizing the long history of genocidal violence against Indigenous peoples, the contributors emphasize the agency of individuals and communities in genocide's aftermath and provide historical and contemporary examples of activism, resistance, identity formation, historical memory, resilience, and healing. The collection also expands the scope of violence by examining the eyewitness testimony of women and children who survived violence, the role of Indigenous self-determination and governance in inciting violence against women, and settler colonialism's promotion of cultural erasure and environmental destruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy including contributions on Indigenous peoples in the United States, Canada, the Pacific, Greenland, S疳mi, and Latin America, the volume breaks down nation-state and European imperial boundaries to show the value of global Indigenous frameworks. Connecting the past to the present, this book confronts violence as an ongoing problem and identifies projects that mitigate and push back against it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Sleeper-Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810142961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810142961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 344\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2022","brand":"Susan Sleeper-Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045470499071,"sku":"9780810142961","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a6872cd6-8592-47b1-add6-3aa9f3ae4043.jpg?v=1684978945","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/violence-and-indigenous-communities-susan-sleeper-smith-9780810142961","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
