Cargando... Queer Indigenous Studies: Critical Interventions in Theory, Politics, and Literature (First Peoples: New Directions in Indigenous Studies)por Qwo-Li Driskill
![]() Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() This was a very informative, in-depth collection of writing about current conversations going on in the queer indigenous studies field, in the United States and Canada. It is a little theory jargon heavy, but it's a great primer for readers unfamiliar with issues such as the meaning of the term Two-Spirit and the indigenous/non-indigenous divide in the wider queer community. There is a very good work cited section at the end for further reading, and I hope to pick up some of these referenced titles before too long. A really solid, interesting collection that draws together a bunch of critical thought and for the most part makes it really accessible (Rifkin's contribution excluded, but I think we all saw that coming.) Scott Morgensen's piece is one I would definitely use for undergrads, and the introduction is a masterful overview of the history of Two-Spirit and its use in communities and among academics. Just a really good and important collection, and really really useful in so many ways. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
""This book is an imagining." So begins this collection examining critical, Indigenous-centered approaches to understanding gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, and Two-Spirit (GLBTQ2) lives and communities and the creative implications of queer theory in Native studies. This book is not so much a manifesto as it is a dialogue--a "writing in conversation"--Among a luminous group of scholar-activists revisiting the history of gay and lesbian studies in Indigenous communities while forging a path for Indigenous centered theories and methodologies. The bold opening to Queer Indigenous Studies invites new dialogues in Native American and Indigenous studies about the directions and implications of queer Indigenous studies. The collection notably engages Indigenous GLBTQ2 movements as alliances that also call for allies beyond their bounds, which the co-editors and contributors model by crossing their varied identities, including Native, trans, straight, non-Native, feminist, Two-Spirit, mixed blood, and queer, to name just a few. Rooted in the Indigenous Americas and the Pacific, and drawing on disciplines ranging from literature to anthropology, contributors to Queer Indigenous Studies call Indigenous GLBTQ2 movements and allies to center an analysis that critiques the relationship between colonialism and heteropatriarchy. By answering critical turns in Indigenous scholarship that center Indigenous epistemologies and methodologies, contributors join in reshaping Native studies, queer studies, transgender studies, and Indigenous feminisms. Based on the reality that queer Indigenous people "experience multilayered oppression that profoundly impacts our safety, health, and survival," this book is at once an imagining and an invitation to the reader to join in the discussion of decolonizing queer Indigenous research and theory and, by doing so, to partake in allied resistance working toward positive change."--Publisher's description.
