This book views responses to the Covid 19 virus through the lens of
indigenous thinking which sheds light on some of the failures in
dealing with the pandemic. Colonial societies maintain beliefs that
hierarchies are part of the natural order, and that certain people
are entitled to privileges that others are not. These hierarchies
have contributed to racism as well as health, and wealth
disparities that have increased vulnerabilities to the virus.
Indigenous societies, on the other hand, view individuals as
interdependent, and hold an optimistic view that this tragedy can
yield important lessons for future improvement. This book examines
the legacy of colonial societies in contributing to existing
vulnerabilities, and incorporates an indigenous perspective in
re-imagining the problem and its solutions.
